Moments after Trump’s announcement, Bolton himself tweeted a direct contradiction of the president’s claim, writing: “I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, ‘Let’s talk about it tomorrow''
President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that he had fired his national-security adviser John Bolton.
“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House,” the president tweeted. “I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week.”
Moments after Trump’s announcement, Bolton himself seemed to directly contradict the president’s account of the departure, writing: “I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, ‘Let’s talk about it tomorrow.’” At 11 a.m., the White House announced that Bolton would attend a press briefing at 1:30 p.m. with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin.This is a developing story...Daily Beast Membership: Beast Inside goes deeper on the stories that matter to you.
