Trump Revokes Security Detail of Doctor Fauci

President Trump revoked Dr. Anthony Fauci's federally funded security detail on January 23, 2025, a decision effective the following day. This action, announced during a North Carolina press conference, was part of a broader effort by Trump to withdraw security from several former officials. Trump justified the move by asserting that former government employees should fund their own security. Despite ongoing threats against him, Fauci subsequently arranged for private security. The decision has sparked significant debate regarding the safety and security of public officials, especially within a highly politicized climate.
