President Trump terminated Dr. Tony Fauci's security detail late Thursday night according to CNN.

"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," CNN reported.

"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," the outlet reported.

As previously reported, U.S. taxpayers were financing the high-end security detail and transportation expenses for Fauci long after he retired from his government job.
