"President Donald Trump has terminated former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci’s security detail.
Trump justified the move on Jan. 24.
“So I think it’s very standard.....You can’t have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for government.”
Trump has criticized Fauci, who served in his role between 1984 and 2022, over his response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Based on their interviews, I felt it was time to speak up about Dr. Fauci and Dr. [Deborah] Birx, two self-promoters trying to reinvent history to cover for their bad instincts and faulty recommendations, which I fortunately almost always overturned,” Trump said in March 2021, referring to a 2021 CNN documentary.
“They had bad policy decisions that would have left our country open to China and others, closed to reopening our economy, and years away from an approved vaccine—putting millions of lives at risk.”
