MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell said Wednesday that ousted national security adviser John Bolton "is not leaving quietly" and will return to TV to voice his displeasure with President Trump.
"He was tweeting his objections. He was texting reporters including our own reporters at the White House immediately," Mitchell told the network's "Morning Joe" program. "I was on the air when this all happened. It happened one minute before we started our show, so we blew everything out and just went wall-to-wall for the hour, and people were texting in and showing me their texts from John Bolton as we were rocking back and forth."
"The fact is he is going to be very outspoken," the veteran Washington reported added. "He is not leaving quietly at all.”
Trump tweeted Tuesday morning that he had fired Bolton, but when news broke of his dismissal, the former top White House aide texted multiple members of the media including Fox News host Brian Kilmeade to stress that he had "resigned."
"John Bolton just texted me just now. He’s watching. And he said, 'Let’s be clear, I resigned,' " Kilmeade, who was co-hosting "Outnumbered" on the network at the time, relayed on to the audience. "So John Bolton has just told me, texted me to say, 'I resigned.' "
Bolton, 70, served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President George W. Bush before becoming a Fox News contributor for more than a decade.
He reportedly strongly disagreed with Trump on multiple foreign policy areas, including the president's plan to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and to meet with Taliban representatives at Camp David just days before 9/11. Trump eventually canceled that meeting.
As a result of Bolton's departure, Trump will need to find his fourth national security adviser in less than three years since taking office.
回复 1楼xiaomaoma的帖子 现在真是各种消息漫天飞。白宫里面是有些乱。 Senior White House official denies report US considering interim China trade deal A senior White House official said the U.S. is “absolutely not” considering an interim trade deal with China. Bloomberg News reported earlier Thursday the Trump administration has discussed putting together a limited trade deal that would delay and remove some China tariffs, citing five people familiar with the matter. The news had driven stocks to session highs.

有NDA的吧， 他不敢乱说什么吧。
70岁了，工作这么多年了，应该不是这个问题。他之前辅佐小布什什么的时候都没犯上。 估计也有内情。
