“When you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off. And you know, you can’t have them forever. So, I think it’s very standard,” Trump told reporters in North Carolina.
“They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too… I can give them some good numbers of very good security people,”” Trump continued. “Fauci made a lot of money. They all did.”
JUST IN: President Trump has terminated Dr. Fauci’s security deal, says he has made a lot of money so he can pay for it himself.

Trump said he would give Bolton and Fauci some “good numbers” of people they could call so they can hire them on their own.
