John Bolton Awoken at Midnight as Federal Protective Detail Removed by Trump

"We're not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives," Trump said.

“I thought he was a very dumb person but I used him well because every time people saw me come into a meeting with John Bolton standing behind me, they thought that he'd attack them because he was a warmonger," Trump said.

Following President Donald Trump revoking former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s security clearance, Bolton was woken up at 12:01 am on Tuesday by Secret Service agents who informed them that his protective detail was revoked as well.

“We’re not going to have security on people for the rest of their lives,” Trump said.

“I’m told John Bolton was awakened at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 21 by Secret Service agents telling him President Trump had revoked his protective detail and would only have it for 12 hours longer,” RealClearPolitics national political correspondent Susan Crabtree said in a social media post Tuesday.

Bolton said he is not surprised by Trump removing his federal protection.

In the executive order that Trump signed revoking Bolton’s security clearance, the President detailed Bolton’s actions which purportedly triggered the decision.

“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,” Trump’s executive order said.

Replying as to why he took Bolton’s details away, Trump criticized Bolton for influencing George Bush’s policy of significantly escalating military actions in the Middle East.

“I thought he was a very dumb person but I used him well because every time people saw me come into a meeting with Bolton standing behind me, they thought that he’d attack them because he was a warmonger,” Trump said.

Before Trump was in officer, Bolton was criticizing his appointments.
