I am pretty sure that that's up to Trump's discretion to grant and am skeptical that Trump would grant it.

Bolton, national-security hawk who played a key role in shaping U.S. foreign policy during the first Trump administration, has continued to require Secret Service protection due to threats from Iran, even after leaving the White House in 2019.

After Bolton was fired by Trump, the president terminated his security detail. However, former President Joe Biden reinstated the protection upon taking office in 2021.

The purported plot against Bolton in 2021, one of the most thoroughly documented alleged assassination attempts, is part of what U.S. prosecutors and former government officials describe as ongoing efforts by Iran's Revolutionary Guard. These efforts aim to target Trump-era officials responsible for a 2020 U.S. airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Guard's elite Quds Force.

"The Justice Department filed criminal charges in 2022 against an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official for attempting to hire a hitman to target me. That threat still exists, as shown by the recent arrest of someone trying to orchestrate President Trump's assassination. The American people can decide for themselves which president made the right call," Bolton said in his statement to CNN.

On Tuesday, CNN reported that former National Security Adviser John Bolton expressed frustration and disappointment over former President Donald Trump's decision to revoke his Secret Service protection just hours after he returned to the White House.

"I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has made this decision," Bolton said in a Tuesday statement to Newsweek. "Despite my criticisms of President Biden's national security policies, he made the decision to extend Secret Service protection to me in 2021."

Bolton has a hostile nation-state actively trying to assassinate him for his work for Trump. Trump pulled his protection because he doesn't like him.

Judge Boasberg has ruled against Trump in one major case and I imagine will most-likely do so in at least a second.
