Bolton: 'I have enough scars' from bringing up Russia-related intelligence with Trump

"I think I have enough scars from bringing up things about Russia that he probably didn't want to hear, that I can say I agree with" accounts from other former officials that Trump did not want to hear negative information linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bolton told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.

""And so a lot of activity went on as you might expect it would, and we just, we tried to inform the President, tried to get his reaction," Bolton continued."Steps were taken -- I think, importantly -- to deal with Russian threats, but usually as the President grumbled and complained along the way.
