Trump Terminates John Bolton’s Secret Service Detail After Stripping His Security Clearance

President Donald Trump has ordered the termination of John Bolton’s Secret Service detail after stripping the disgraced former national security adviser of his security clearance.

As Slay News previously reported, Trump signed an executive order on Monday to terminate the credentials of dozens of intelligence officials, specifically naming Bolton.

The order specifically accuses Bolton of “reckless treatment of sensitive information.”

The White House notes that Bolton’s 2019 memoir was “rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government.”

It stated that Bolton’s book posed “a grave risk” of exposing classified material and undermined future presidents’ ability to request candid advice on matters of national security from their staff.

The executive order states:

“Former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton published a memoir for monetary gain after he was terminated from his White House position in 2019.

“The book was rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government.

“The memoir’s reckless treatment of sensitive information undermined the ability of future presidents to request and obtain candid advice on matters of national security from their staff.

“Publication also created a grave risk that classified material was publicly exposed.

“To remedy these abuses of the public trust, this Order directs the revocation of any active or current security clearances held by: (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton.”

Following the order, multiple reports have revealed that Bolton has now been stripped of his taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection.

CNN reported that Bolton had confirmed that “within hours” of Trump taking office, the president terminated the Secret Service detail that had been assigned to Bolton.

Several sources also informed CBS News that the decision to terminate Bolton’s Secret Service detail had been made “in the past 24 hours.”

In a statement on X, Bolton expressed that he was “disappointed but not surprised that President Trump” had terminated his Secret Service detail.

Bolton added that former President Joe Biden “made the decision to extend” his Secret Service detail protection, despite his “criticisms” of his national security policies.

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

“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,” Bolton added.

“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.”

Bolton previously served as Trump’s third national security adviser during his first administration.

However, he has since profited from being an outspoken critic of Trump.

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press Now” in December 2022, Bolton stated that he would “absolutely” run for president in order to stop Trump from returning to the White House.
