Fauci is the latest in a string of former Trump aides-turned-critics to see their federal protection canceled despite ongoing threats to their lives.

Speaking to reporters in North Carolina on Friday, Trump said he wouldn’t feel any responsibility if harm befell the former government officials. A person familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues, said that Fauci’s federal security detail was ended on Thursday and that he has since hired private security.

When asked about Fauci and former national security adviser John Bolton, Trump said, “They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too.”

      It’s another round of bird flu, a new strain, we’re cooking up. It’s why chicken and eggs are so expensive. Millions have been culled. If it makes the jump to humans we’re in for a hell of a ride. Currently 50% mortality rate although that would probably be different for humans.
