U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo calls Bolton “a traitor” over new book

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.
