Ex-Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton is speaking out for the first time since returning to his home raided by the FBI on Friday — and he’s coming out swinging.
In a series of X posts on Monday, Bolton was back to decrying the president’s foreign policy — and the “incoherent” search of his DC-area house and office.
“Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy today is no more coherent than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office,” Bolton wrote in a post to X Tuesday morning. “Collapsing in confusion and haste, Trump’s negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign.”
The post linked to an opinion piece he authored on Trump’s “utterly incoherent Ukraine strategy,” which was published in the Washington Examiner on Monday.
“The administration has tried to camouflage its disarray behind social media posts, such as Trump comparing his finger-pointing at Russian President Vladimir Putin to then-Vice President Richard Nixon during the famous kitchen debate with Nikita Khrushchev,” he wrote in the piece. “Why Trump wants to be compared to the only president who resigned in disgrace is unclear.”

He additionally claimed that “bilateral relationships have suffered considerable damage because of the fallout from the administration’s failing diplomacy,” in a post to X about 20 minutes after the first.
“The longer India hangs out to dry, the worse the New Delhi-Washington relationship gets,” he added.
