President Donald Trump pulled Anthony Fauci’s government-funded security — the latest in a line of revocations of protective details from his former allies and longtime rivals.

Trump revoked the security for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert and former advisor turned critic who faces regular threats to his life.

Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.
