Trump confirmed Friday he stripped security protections from former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, the latest in a pattern of retaliation against political adversaries.

🔥Why it matters:
All of Trump's targets have received death threats during a time of heightened political violence.

♦️#Anthony #Fauci

The former NIAID director lost his protection late Thursday night.

Fauci has repeatedly been forthright about death threats against himself and his family. He's now hired his own security detail, per the New York Times.
"You can't have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for government," Trump said on Fox News on Friday, when asked about Fauci.
Between the lines: Former President Biden issued a preemptive pardon for Fauci on his last day in office, granting him broad immunity before Trump's term began.

Fauci faced repeated political attacks from Trump and other Republicans over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

♦️#John #Bolton

Trump's former national security adviser has faced death threats from Iran after being a fierce critic of the regime. In 2022 an Iranian national was charged in connection with a plot to assassinate Bolton.

"This is a matter that people should take seriously," Bolton told CNN's Jake Tapper.
Context: Bolton was vocal in his criticism of Trump after working with him during his first term and ahead of his new administration.

"It's certainly a downer for expressing your opposition to Donald Trump," Bolton said on CNN.

♦️#Mike #Pompeo

Trump's former secretary of state, like Bolton, faced threats from Iran, multiple outlets reported.

Pompeo has criticized Trump on fiscal and foreign policy and was not invited to join his second administration. However, Pompeo spent Trump's first week in office celebrating his win, Cabinet confirmations, and early executive orders.

🔸Zoom in: Pompeo's top aide #Brian #Hook also lost his security, per the reports.

Axios · Trump strips security from Fauci, Bolton, Pompeo: TrackerBy April Rubin

The new Senate Majority Leader says he wants to get President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet through the confirmation process as quickly as possible
but spent a good part of Sunday cautioning there is “a process” that must be followed first.
U.S. Sen. #John #Thune, in the wake of a deadly New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans,
said that the incident was a good example of why “the Senate must get President Trump’s national security team in place as quickly as possible.”
On Friday, when the U.S. Congress began its 119th session, the Majority Leader said the upper chamber would work swiftly to “ensure President Trump has his team in place to secure our border, protect our homeland, and provide for our nation’s defense.”
But by Sunday the South Dakota Republican was tapping the brakes as he made the talk show rounds, explaining that Trump’s top picks are going to have some “hard questions” to answer before they are confirmed.
“The Senate has a role:
advise and consent.
And we intend
— we have a lot of our senators who take that role very seriously.
And so we will make sure that these nominees have a process,
a fair process,
in which they have an opportunity to make their cases
not only to the members of the committee
and ultimately to the full Senate
but also to the American people,”
he told NBC.

Whether all of the 47th president’s picks make it past muster is an open question, Thune acknowledged,
saying that he doesn’t have “clarity” on how the votes will play out.
However, he’s inclined to provide the chief executive due consideration when it comes to deciding who serves in his administration, he said.
Republicans only have a three vote margin to work with,
so whether any nominee makes it through “is going to be up to each individual senator and how they decide to vote,” the Majority Leader said.
“I suspect a lot of them will get through and we’ll see about all of them.
Remains to be seen, but I think that’s why we have the process,
and we will adhere to that process
and give all of these nominees an opportunity to make their case,”
he told CBS.
