U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday branded as “a traitor” former White House national security adviser John Bolton, who has accused President Donald Trump in a book of sweeping misdeeds and said he is not fit for office.
“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”, - Pompeo, the latest in a series of Trump allies to condemn Bolton, said in a statement.
The 577-page book titled The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir paints an unvarnished portrait of Trump and his administration, and the sometimes dim view that Trump"s advisers have of him.
In one excerpt, Bolton says he received a note from Pompeo mocking Trump during a 2018 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
