Trump Revokes Security Protections for Pompeo, Hook, and Bolton Amid Iran Threats
President Donald Trump has revoked government-provided security protections for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, his top aide Brian Hook, and former national security adviser John Bolton, despite ongoing threats from Iran. The decision, effective January 23, 2025, has sparked criticism for being 'highly irresponsible' given the active threats against these former officials. The move marks a significant departure from the Biden administration's policy and raises questions about retribution or a shift in Trump's foreign policy approach.
