President Trump issued 46 executive orders on his first day in office targeting national security issues, including the removal of any security clearances held by 51 former intelligence officials linked to election interference in the 2020 presidential campaign.

John Bolton, who left the Trump White House in November 2019, has had Secret Service protection during the Biden administration due to concerns that Iran could target him.

"I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service," John Bolton said.

President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had granted Bolton and another Trump national security adviser protection in 2021 after threats from Iran.

The executive order targets the clearances of 50 people in all, including the 49 surviving signatories of the letter.

The Trump administration removed former national security adviser John Bolton's Secret Service protection. The decision was made in the past 24 hours, sources said.

In revoking John Bolton's Secret Service detail, President Donald Trump has shown a petty disregard for the First Amendment and Iran's assassination threats.

President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of 50 former US intelligence officials who had cast doubt on conservative attacks on former President Joe Biden’s son, delivering on a campaign promise to exact retribution against what he sees as a “deep state” conspiracy against him.
