Trump fires John Bolton amid concerns over leaks and policy disagreements, sources say via hunterw, blrshepherd

WASHINGTON — President Trump announced in a tweet on Tuesday that he had asked his national security adviser, John Bolton, to resign. Sources say the departure was due to disagreements and suspicions Bolton was involved in leaks.

“I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore … I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning. I thank John very much for his service. I will be naming a new National Security Advisor next week,” Trump wrote.“I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, ‘Let's talk about it tomorrow,’” Bolton wrote.

A source familiar with the situation described Bolton’s departure as the result of a “personality clash” between him and the president. The source said this included disagreements over strategy for Afghanistan and Iran. Story continuesA third source close to the president said Bolton had “too many strikes” against him. They said Bolton drew the president’s ire in three areas: “Venezuela, Iran, and leaks.” Bolton pushed for more aggressive responses to the situations in Venezuela and Iran than Trump was comfortable with, according to the source. They also said the White House grew suspicious because it “always leaks” when Bolton disagreed with Trump on something.
