Summary

Trump ended federal security protection for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who faced threats after criticizing Trump’s COVID-19 response.

Speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t feel any responsibility if harm befell the former government officials

The move follows similar revocations for former officials like Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, and Bolton, who faced threats from Iran.

Fauci’s protection had been repeatedly renewed under Biden due to ongoing domestic threats.

Critics see this as another instance of Trump targeting former aides-turned-critics.
