Bolton, ex-US ambassador to UN, admits to planning attempted foreign coups

WASHINGTON, 14 July 2022, (TON): John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the UN and former White House national security adviser, said “he had helped plan attempted coups in foreign countries.”

Bolton made the remarks to CNN after the day’s congressional hearing into the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.

The panel’s lawmakers accused former President Donald Trump of inciting the violence in a last-ditch bid to remain in power after losing the 2020 election.

Speaking to CNN anchor Jake Tapper, however, Bolton suggested Trump was not competent enough to pull off a carefully planned coup d’etat.

As somebody who has helped plan coups d’etat not here but you know other places it takes a lot of work. And that’s not what he did.
