JOHN BOLTON/TRUMP PEOPLE: “John Bolton was a stupid guy, and he was a guy with no heart. And he also had a statement that he would lie whenever he had to. He has that statement. It’s a well-known statement. And I fired him. And I didn’t think it was a big deal. And I didn’t — I wasn’t around him very much. But what he did do is he took classified information, and he published it during a presidency.
It’s you know, it’s one thing to write a book after, during. And I believe that he’s a criminal. And I believe, frankly, he should go to jail for that.”
