WASHINGTON — President Trump yanked his former national security adviser John Bolton’s Secret Service protective detail Tuesday — one day after canceling Bolton’s security clearance citing a 2020 tell-all book.

The officials previously wrote a letter claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Bolton did, however, publish before getting permission to do so, and anyone who has had a security clearance knows that dodging the review is a violation not just of the letter of one’s clearance conditions but also of the norms and instincts inculcated by the culture of national security.

Ex-CIA head John Brennan discussed President Donald Trump removing his security clearance for his involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop letter on MSNBC.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday revoking the security clearance of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and that of his former national security adviser John Bolton.

The 51 former intelligence community officials claimed that a report about Hunter Biden's laptop had "the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

President Donald Trump says his administration will move to suspend the security clearances of the more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.

The Trump administration removed former national security adviser John Bolton's Secret Service protection. The decision was made in the past 24 hours, sources said.

John Bolton, who left the Trump White House in November 2019, has had Secret Service protection during the Biden administration due to concerns that Iran could target him.

The letters signatories include - former US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former US National Security Advisor, John Bolton, former CIA Director John Brennan.

With actions big and small, Trump has spent his first days in office pushing the levers of government – and his unique powers as commander in chief – to target his perceived political enemies both inside and outside the government.

The move is meant to please Trump voters, punish perceived enemies and represents “the most politically saturated security action since the Oppenheimer case in the 1950s.”
