President Donald Trump has revoked former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s security detail.
Trump explained the move on Jan. 23.
“When you have protection, you can’t have it for the rest of your life,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “Do you want to have a large detail of people guarding people for the rest of their lives? I mean, there’s risks to everything.”
