President Donald Trump has terminated Secret Service protection for his former national security adviser John Bolton, Bolton said Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump stripped Secret Service protection on Tuesday from his former national security adviser, John Bolton, who became the target of an Iranian murder plot after he served in the White House.

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.

"I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service," John Bolton said.

Trump's former national security adviser predicted on Sunday that the president-elect's second term will be "just as chaotic" as the first one.

By the reasoning of the president's new executive order, Donald Trump should probably take away his own security clearance.

Like many who worked for Trump during his first presidential tenure, Bolton has been vocal about how tumultuous the work can be. But for those who will be navigating what he calls the “continuing turmoil” of advising Trump, Bolton has some straightforward recommendations.
