Bolton lashed out at President Trump on Thursday and claimed he has become the “latest target in the weaponizing the Justice Department.”
“When my e-mail was hacked in 2021, the FBI was made fully aware. In four years of the prior administration, after these reviews, no charges were ever filed,” Bolton said defending his use of a private server to transmit classified material.
“These charges are not just about his focus on me or my diaries, but his intensive effort to intimidate his opponents, to ensure that he alone determines what is said about his conduct,” Bolton said.
