(CNN)Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top medical expert on the coronavirus pandemic and a member of President Donald Trump's coronavirus task force, is facing threats to his personal safety and now requires personal security from law enforcement at all times, including at his home, a source confirms to CNN.

A law enforcement official told CNN that the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General, the agency's law enforcement arm, asked the US Marshals Service for assistance following threats to Fauci. The Marshals then deputized HHS officers to act as personal security for the doctor.

A source also confirmed to CNN last week the presence of several members of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department stationed at all times around Fauci's home in the district. The source added the stepped up visible police presence was a response to growing threats to Fauci's safety, though the source of the threats was not identified.

After Threats, Anthony Fauci to Receive Enhanced Personal Security
Dr. Fauci has become a target of online conspiracy theorists after advocating social distancing rules.

Dr. Fauci has been the Trump administration’s most outspoken advocate of social distancing rules that have shuttered the nation’s schools, forced businesses to close, kept people in their homes and battered the United States economy.

That has made him a target of online conspiracy theorists who have accused Dr. Fauci, a longtime scientist and civil servant who has served presidents of both parties, of trying to undermine Mr. Trump during a year in which the president is fighting for re-election.

12. It comes up well short of "inciting death threats"

The conservative media sucks, I am no fan. But the burden of proof for this specific assertion has not been met.

13. you would probably have to watch it...

there's plenty of stuff on youtube..and all the usual suspects are a google away. Your 'burden of proof'..is that in a legal sense?...or do you just doubt that the right-wing incites violence?

5. Must suck to know the President has helped stir up death threats against you.

10. Chicken Or Egg, Thomas

He wouldn't be POTUS if there weren't idiots out there that are the type to send threats.
Certainty no defending DOLTUS but these slime were already out there. They don't need to have their "leader" to tell them to do this. They would do it anyway.
