The Wall Street Journal criticized President Donald Trump for removing security details from former advisors due to potential threats from Iran. Trump pulled security from Mike Pompeo and Brian Hook after previously removing John Bolton’s protection, despite credible threats against them.
The Journal’s editorial board warned that if any of these men are attacked, Trump would bear some responsibility for their lack of protection.
Trump downplayed the threats, stating that security should not be lifelong, while the Journal urged decisions on security to be based on danger, not vindictiveness.
