President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday revoking the security clearance of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter arguing that emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden carried “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” and that of his former national security adviser John Bolton.

The 51 former intelligence community officials claimed that a report about Hunter Biden's laptop had "the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Bolton departed the first Trump admin in 2019 and has continued to require Secret Service protection due to threats from Iran.

President Trump issued 46 executive orders on his first day in office targeting national security issues, including the removal of any security clearances held by 51 former intelligence officials linked to election interference in the 2020 presidential campaign.

Within hours of taking office, President Donald Trump terminated the Secret Service detail that was assigned to his former national security adviser John Bolton, Bolton confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump says his administration will move to suspend the security clearances of the more than four dozen former intelligence officials who signed a 2020 letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop saga bore the hallmarks of a “Russian information operation.

President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had granted Bolton and another Trump national security adviser protection in 2021 after threats from Iran.

The letters signatories include - former US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former US National Security Advisor, John Bolton, former CIA Director John Brennan.

The Trump administration removed former national security adviser John Bolton's Secret Service protection. The decision was made in the past 24 hours, sources said.

In revoking John Bolton's Secret Service detail, President Donald Trump has shown a petty disregard for the First Amendment and Iran's assassination threats.

"I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service," John Bolton said.
