President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday that he has terminated the security detail provided to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/anthony-fauci" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Anthony Fauci</a> at the taxpayer's expense.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) requested security for Fauci in 2020 to protect him from threats he received as the top health official and public spokesperson during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump earlier revoked the security clearances of 51 intelligence officials who had wrongly claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," as well as the details provided to former national security advisor John Bolton and ex-CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
