Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper revealed to CBS News that he has had full-time government-provided 'protection 24/7' since he left the Defense Department as a result of threats from Iran.
, Bolton said he was told that it was a plot potentially"either to assassinate me or to kidnap me."
"I give the FBI and the Department of Justice a lot of credit for what they've done," Esper said of its charges against an Iranian national, and he acknowledged national security adviser Jake Sullivan for his warning"about severe consequences if Iran should do something." "We should signal very clearly how serious this is and before we sign any deal with them certainly make sure that they they reverse whatever actions [they] are taking and renounce them publicly."
