John Bolton served as Trump ’s national security adviser from spring 2018 to summer 2019 .

Bolton : “This is part of the retribution campaign that he signaled for quite some time” Bolton says Liz Cheney and others who tried to hold him accountable for his actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021 , insurrection.

Cheney was the highest-ranking congressional Republican to continue criticizing Trump for his coup attempt culminating in an attack on the Capitol .

Bolton criticized Patel in a book of his own, called “ The Room Where It Happened ,” for having spent much of his time there trying to cozy up to Trump rather than carry out his assigned duties.

Bolton said that if, as the coup-attempting former president and his Republican allies claim, the way to fix the FBI is to appoint an outsider.
