Inside John Bolton’s Chaotic Exit

Jonathan Swan: “The last time National Security Adviser John Bolton spoke with President Donald Trump was Monday afternoon around 2 p.m. in the Oval Office — offering to resign — about 22 hours before the president’s Tuesday tweet suggesting that he had fired Bolton.”

“The timeline contradicts the president’s account and speaks volumes about how Trump runs his administration. It underscores Trump’s pattern of adjusting facts to fit his narrative, a week after the ‘Sharpie’ controversy involving the path of Hurricane Dorian.”

“It also serves to warn Bolton’s successor — whom Trump says he’ll name next week — what they’re signing up for.”
