According to reports from\u2064 CNN and Fox News, Fauci, who previously led the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-defends-maui-disaster-response-in-face-of-republican-investigations\/\" title=\"Biden stands firm on Maui disaster response amid GOP probes.\">federal \u2062response<\/a> \u200bto the COVID-19 pandemic, \u2062has hired private security \u2063protection following the withdrawal of his government-provided detail. During a visit to North Carolina, Trump stated that \u200cit was time to end the security detail, asserting \u2064that individuals who work for the government should\u200d not have indefinite security. Trump also mentioned that he had similarly terminated security for \u200bother former \u2063officials like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. When asked if he would feel responsible\u2064 for any incidents involving those whose security was revoked, Trump responded negatively, indicating\u200b that they had the\u2064 means to hire \u200dprivate security\u200c firms on their own. Fauci,\u2063 who was one of the highest-paid federal employees, reportedly had a significant\u200c net worth and could afford to fund his own\u2063 security.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Former White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has had his government security detail pulled by President Donald Trump, according to new reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/01\/24\/politics\/anthony-fauci-security-detail-trump\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> reported that the detail was withdrawn on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-biden-pardons-fauci-milley-effort-guard-potential-revenge-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fauci<\/a> has since hired security protection, the outlet adds.<\/p>\n<p>The National Institutes of Health wanted protection for Fauci in 2020 when he was the lead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/softballs-and-adoration-read-the-questions-reporters-have-asked-bidens-press-secretary\/\" title=\"Softballs And Adoration: Read The \u2018Questions\u2019 Reporters Have Asked Biden\u2019s Press Secretary\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/better-than-expected-u-s-economy-added-638000-jobs-in-october-unemployment-dropped-to-6-9\/\" title=\"Better Than Expected: U.S. Economy Added 638,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Dropped to 6.9%\">federal government<\/a> response<\/a> to COVID-19, &nbsp;according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-revokes-security-detail-fauci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, during a visit to North Carolina, Trump said enough was enough.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today I sent supporting information to end the 24 hr a day limo and security detail for Fauci.
