    Trump had ended Secret Service protection for John Bolton in his first term after he fell out with him. In Bolton’s case, that’s quite significant, due to Iran.

    The US is offering a $20m (£15m) reward for information leading to the arrest of an Iranian man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton.

    Shahram Poursafi, a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), is accused of trying to hire criminals in the US to kill Mr Bolton, a vocal Iran critic, in exchange for $300,000.

    Biden had reinstated Bolton’s Secret Service protection when Biden was in office. As soon as Trump got back in, he cut it off again.
