Donald Trump has pulled Anthony Fauci’s security detail, source says

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's security detail that was being provided and paid for by the National Institutes of Health, a source familiar with the situation tells CNN. It was pulled on Thursday night. Given he continues to face ongoing threats due to his public-facing role during the Covid-19 pandemic, Fauci has now hired his own private security that he'll pay for himself, the source told CNN.

In fire-ravaged California, the state's Democratic leaders pressed Trump for federal assistance that he's threatened to hold up, some setting aside their past differences to shower him with praise.
