President Trump has revoked security protections for former officials Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, and John Bolton despite ongoing assassination threats from Iran, prompting concerns over safety. The decision comes shortly after Trump's return to the White House. Both Pompeo and Hook were informed that their security details were revoked, effective Wednesday evening. Trump defended the move, stating that such protection is not intended for life. Critics view this as politically motivated, given the department's previous assessments of serious threats against these individuals arising from their hardline stances on Iran during Trump's first administration.
