U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday lambasted John Bolton for pushing various “lies” through his upcoming and already controversial memoir about working for President Donald Trump, dismissing the former White House national security advisor as a “traitor.”
In a statement, Pompeo acknowledged that he had not read Bolton’s book — The Room Where It Happened, — which the Trump administration is trying to prevent from being published, arguing that he has not completed a security review process for classified information.
Citing excerpts, however, the secretary of state said;
In the excerpts published in several major newspapers, including the leftist New York Times (NY), Bolton claimed Pompeo — who has never publicly clashed with Trump — belittled the president in private.
Bolton alleged Pompeo passed him a note during President Trump’s historic first denuclearization meeting in June 2018 with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in Singapore, reviling the commander-in-chief for being “so full of shit.”
On Wednesday, Jake Sherman from Politico wrote on Twitter that an unnamed person close to Pompeo “denied the note-passing incident.”
“The only person full of shit is John Bolton. The secretary is not a note passer. And if he has such a note, he should put up or shut up,” the anonymous source declared.

Citing excerpts, however, the secretary of state said;
John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods. 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. To our friends around the world: you know that President Trump’s America is a force for good in the world.
