Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has urged the Senate to launch an investigation into Trump’s decision to revoke John Bolton’s security.
At the stroke of midnight on January 21st, John Bolton was awakened by Secret Service agents, who delivered a notice informing him that President Donald Trump had officially revoked his protective detail.
Trump revoked Bolton’s security clearance in an executive order on his first day in office.
Bolton lashed out at Trump last week:
“I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service. Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden’s national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend that protection to me in 2021. The Justice Department filed criminal charges against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official in 2022 for attempting to hire a hit man to target me. 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,” John Bolton wrote on X.
Last Friday, John Bolton lashed out at Trump again, criticizing the removal of his Secret Service protection and claiming he is still under threat.
“The Iranian threats against me (and a few others) are still very real and have been confirmed as of a few days ago. By removing my Secret Service detail and continuing the protection for others, Trump tells you all you need to know about his motives,” John Bolton said on Friday morning.
Trump also showed no mercy when asked about his decision to pull Bolton and Fauci’s security:
“You know, they all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too. All the people you’re talking about they can go out – I can give them some good numbers of very good security people – they can hire their own security. They all made a lot of money. Fauci made a lot of money. They all did so if they felt that strongly – certainly I would not take responsibility,” Trump told reporters.
And now RINO Lindsey Graham went to CNN to call for an investigation into Trump’s decision to revoke John Bolton’s security.
“Whether you like Bolton or anybody else, we need to make sure that if you serve in our government and you take a foreign power at the request of the administration, that we do not leave you hanging,” Lindsey Graham told CNN’s Dana Bash.
“The Senate needs to look at what happened and sit down and figure out what’s the best way forward,” he added.
