.MaddowBlog: Bolton bolstered by a leading House Democrat, contradicting Pres. Trump.
Shortly after midnight yesterday morning, Donald Trump came up with a new line of attack against his former White House national security adviser. “Why didn’t John Bolton complain about this ‘nonsense’ a long time ago, when he was very publicly terminated,” the president wrote. “He said, not that it matters, NOTHING!”
Rep. Eliot Engel pushed back Wednesday on President Donald Trump’s claim that John Bolton didn’t complain about his conduct toward Ukraine, revealing that Bolton, only days after being ousted as Trump’s national security adviser, told him in a phone call to examine the ouster of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
Four days later, Bolton recommended that Engel “look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.” The congressman added yesterday that Bolton brought up the ambassador “unprompted.”
