President Donald Trump has terminated the taxpayer-funded security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci.
As the lead health official and public spokesperson during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci received threats, so the National Institutes of Health (NIH) asked for security for him in 2020, Fox News reported.
Prior to this, Trump revoked the security clearances of 51 intelligence officials who falsely stated that Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” along with the information that was given to former CIA Director Mike Pompeo and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
Fauci has been in the news several times since Trump took office on Jan. 20.
In a round of last-minute pardons aimed at shielding allies, then-President Joe Biden granted clemency to a select group of individuals—but the move is not without complications for the recipients.
