Trump 2nd term live updates: Senators blast Trump over IG firings

Dr. Anthony Fauci had his government security detail revoked Thursday afternoon, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Fauci was protected by private security that was paid for by the government, but now has hired his own security detail following the cancellation.

Trump said such security detail only pertained to current government employees.

"You can't have a security detail for the rest of your life because you work for the government," he told reporters.

Fauci has received threats since the pandemic from harsh critics.

President Donald Trump continued to blast California's response to the wildfires, and seemed to add a new condition on additional aid for the wildfires.

"I want to see two things in Los Angeles, voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and the state. Those are the two things," Trump said.

President Donald Trump was asked Friday morning about the first deportation flights under his administration.

The president made no explicit mention of the flights but said that the deportations are "going well."

"These are people that have been as bad as you get, as bad as anybody you've seen, we're taking them out first," he said.

President Donald Trump blasted the Biden Administration's response to Hurricane Helene while touring the storm-ravaged areas of North Carolina.

"We're going to fix it out," he said. "FEMA has really let us down, let the country down, and I don't know if that's Biden's fault or whose fault it is. But we're going to take over, and we're going to do a good job."

President Trump gave remarks before touring areas in the western part of North Carolina still damaged following Hurricane Helene.

Trump said the response should be determined on the state level, saying that this is the "best example" of the federal response not working.

Trump added that if states managed disaster response, it would be "a lot less expensive" and also there would be "a lot quicker response."
