On Monday, President Donald Trump revoked former National Security Advisor John Bolton\u2019s Secret Service protection following his inauguration as the 47th president.\u00a0During an interview with CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper, Bolton was dissatisfied with the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell I\u2019ve had better days that\u2019s for sure and this is uh\u2026 I think uh\u2026 typical of Trump the man. This is this is the kind of character or or lack thereof who\u2019s now president,\u201d Bolton said.<\/p>\n

Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor under Trump before leaving the administration in 2019, went on to explain why he had previously been granted protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know when President Biden\u2026 recognizing the threat against me and and and several other current and former U.S. government officials authorized the Secret Service to restore protection, which I had had when I was National Security Advisor\u2026 I\u2019m sure he probably wasn\u2019t the happiest man in the world because of the criticisms that I\u2019ve made of him on his foreign policy,\u201d Bolton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he did it because it\u2019s simply not permissible to allow a rogue state like the terrorist in Iran to threaten Americans, whether they\u2019re in government or not, simply for expressing opinions or in the case of the government, employees doing their job,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump has decided to reverse it. It\u2019s obviously within his power to do it. But I think this is a matter that people should take seriously and let us contemplate who made the right decision here, President Biden or President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

The revocation of Bolton\u2019s security detail follows years of public tension between the former advisor and Trump, with Bolton frequently criticizing the former and current president\u2019s foreign policy decisions. Under President Trump, Bolton was known for his hawkish stances on countries like Iran and North Korea.<\/p>\n

When asked by journalists on Tuesday about his decision to revoke Bolton\u2019s security clearance, Trump explained, \u201cBecause I think that was enough time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives. Why should we?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service,\u201d Bolton said in a statement Tuesday. \u201cNotwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden\u2019s national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend that protection to me in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bolton has served in various government roles, most notably as the U.S. National Security Advisor under President Trump from 2018 to 2019. He previously served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2006.<\/p>\n

However, his tenure in the Trump administration ended on a contentious note, with disagreements over foreign policy strategies leading to his departure. After leaving the White House, Bolton published a book titled The Room Where It Happened, which provided a critical insider account of the Trump administration\u2019s foreign policy decision-making.<\/p>\n

In August 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice charged Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), with plotting to assassinate Bolton. This plot was believed to be retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani in January 2020.<\/p>\n
