President Trump announced the firing of four high-profile presidential appointees just after midnight Tuesday, including a top envoy to Iran during his first term, Brian Hook, and retired Gen.

Former President Joe Biden's pre-emptive pardon for retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will give the retired military official a shield against any action that President Donald Trump might take against him amid their highly public feud.

Bolton, who frequently stakes out hawkish views about Iran, has had a 24/7 security detail from the Secret Service since December 2021. The Justice Department has said that during that time a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard attempted to hire a hitman in the United States to take him out.

Trump said Tuesday his administration is in the process of “identifying and removing” more than 1,000 Biden appointees.
