Bolton was in Trump's first administration, but has hardly been friendly with Trump since the two had a major falling out.
In its first 24 hours in office, the Trump administration removed U.S. Secret Service protection from former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, who became a critic of the president after Bolton's ouster from the first Trump administration in 2019. Multiple sources told CBS News the decision was made in the past 24 hours.
Bolton, an outspoken critic of President Trump, was granted Secret Service protection by the Biden administration in December 2021 for the first time since he served in the Trump White House. That decision followed a series of threats from Iran linked to retaliation for a drone strike ordered by Mr. Trump during Bolton's tenure, resulting in the assassination Iranian General Qasem Soleimani.
In a statement, Bolton told CBS News that he is "disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has made this decision."
"Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden's national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to once again extend Secret Service protection to me in 2021," Bolton continued.
In his statement today, Bolton added, "That threat remains today, as also demonstrated by the recent arrest of someone trying to arrange for President Trump's own assassination. The American people can judge for themselves which President made the right call."
Something something broken clocks.
