According to anonymous sources, Trump’s order came into force on Wednesday at 11 pm Eastern Time (04:00 GMT, Thursday), removing Pompea and Hook, the former best assistant their security details.
This follows an earlier report that Trump has done the same for Bolton, his former national security adviser. Bolton on Tuesday confirmed the news of CNN -us by saying, “I’m disappointed, but I’m not surprised.”
Trump has since defended that decision, calling Bolton “a very stupid person.”

Bolton after criticism and angry Trump It is thrown out As a 2019 national security adviser. He served under the previous Republican presidents, including George W Bush and Ronald Reagan.
In his memoir Bolton, Trump’s leadership was sharply written. “Mountain fact shows that Trump is incapable of being president,” Bolton said.
Pompeo, meanwhile, was less loud in his criticism, but briefly flirted with possible driving in the 2024 presidential election, before his low number of survey was sank. He continued in a campaign on Trump’s name in 2024.
