ASHEVILLE, North Carolina/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump said on Friday Dr. Anthony Fauci, a former top health official who has faced threats since leading the country's COVID-19 response, should hire his own security, the latest former U.S. official to have their protection cut off since Trump took office this week. Sources familiar with the situation confirmed that federal security protection had been canceled for Fauci, a top infectious disease official whose efforts to fight the pandemic were applauded by many public health experts even as he was vilified by Trump and many other Republicans. Trump ended federal protection for at least three other former top officials who served during his first administration since he took office for the second time on Monday.
