An outspoken critic of the US-led invasion of Iraq, Scowcroft was a member of the Republican foreign policy establishment who nevertheless endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton during the 2016 White House campaign won by President Donald Trump. He died of natural causes, a statement from the foundation said.
The current national security advisor under Trump, Robert O'Brien, called Scowcroft “one of the most distinguished individuals to serve” in the post. He served as military assistant to Nixon, and later resigned from the Air Force to become President Gerald Ford's national security advisor. He went on to perform the same role for George HW Bush, becoming the first man to serve two presidents in the role.
