U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo Calls Bolton ‘a Traitor’
Donald Trump’s presidency was in turmoil on Thursday after top ex-aide John Bolton declared him unfit for office in a bombshell book and the Supreme Court blocked a key part of his re-election vow to deport undocumented migrants. . .
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who Mr Bolton alleges shared his assessment of Mr Trump, lashed out late Thursday in a statement that read, “I was in the room too.”
It is both sad and dangerous that John Bolton’s final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. To our friends around the world: you know that President @realDonaldTrump's America is a force for good in the world.

“John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths and outright falsehoods,” Mr Pompeo said in the statement.
“It is both sad and dangerous that John Bolton’s final public role is that of a traitor who damaged America by violating his sacred trust with its people. To our friends around the world: you know that President Trump’s America is a force for good in the world.”
According to excerpts published by major newspapers, Mr Bolton said that Mr Pompeo – one of the rare aides never to clash publicly with Mr Trump – disparaged him in private. (Read more from “U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo Calls Bolton ‘a Traitor'” HERE)
