Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) urged President Trump to reconsider his decision to revoke security details for three former national security officials, arguing that the protection is not only for their safety but also for the public. Cotton, a staunch Trump ally, said that a president needs to attract qualified individuals to serve in the White House, and that sometimes requires enhanced security for officials. He cited intelligence information suggesting that the three former officials—John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Brian Hook—remain targets of Iran due to their roles in the 2020 drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani. Cotton warned that the decision could also discourage future qualified individuals from serving in the administration.
El presidente Donald Trump debería reconsiderar su decisión de retirar al personal de custodia a tres exaltos funcionarios de seguridad nacional, declaró el domingo el presidente del Comité de Inteligencia del Senado. Esa protección no es solo para ellos, sino también para el público, dijo el senador Tom Cotton, un leal a Trump que, no obstante, está en contra de la decisión del presidente de ir contra aquellos que percibe como adversarios.
Cotton dijo que había visto información reciente de inteligencia que sugiere que los tres exfuncionarios de Trump seguían siendo objetivos de Teherán. Es otra señal de los pasos que Trump está tomando apenas días después de su regreso a la Casa Blanca para apuntar a aquellos que percibe como adversarios. Bolton, quien fue despedido durante el primer mandato del presidente en 2019, luego escribió un libro.
