Donald Trump said he knew nothing about the raid on John Bolton's Maryland home and called Bolton a "lowlife." Prominent Democrats previously criticized Bolton after his 2019 firing, with Adam Schiff questioning his patriotism and Nancy Pelosi calling him a disgrace. Trump pulled Bolton's security detail in January despite prior credible threats from the Iranian government. The government is searching Bolton's home and office to determine whether he mishandled or shared classified material, with the raid said to have followed intelligence collected overseas by the CIA. Bolton has long argued that excessive classification impedes transparency.
This morning, Donald Trump claimed he knew nothing about the raid on the Maryland home of his former National Security Adviser John Bolton. "I'm not a fan of John Bolton," Trump said, calling him a " lowlife." In that respect he agrees with many Democrats: After Trump fired Bolton, in 2019, Representative Adam Schiff of California (now a senator) said that one "should question John Bolton's patriotism," and Representative Nancy Pelosi called him a " disgrace."
In January, Trump pulled Bolton's security detail, which had been in place due to credible threats by the Iranian government, which is also not a fan of John Bolton. Bolton's neighbor, Gerald Rogell, told The New York Times that Bolton was "unfriendly." He added, dryly and a little gratuitously, "John Bolton is not our favorite person." If a terrible accident befalls Bolton, one should not rule out a Murder on the Orient Express scenario. Who did it? Maybe everyone.
