President Trump slammed John Bolton’s forthcoming memoir as “pure fiction” on Thursday and said his former national security adviser is “trying to get even” after he fired him from his post last year.
“Bolton’s book, which is getting terrible reviews, is a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad,” Trump tweeted Thursday. “Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction.”
He added: “Just trying to get even for firing him like the sick puppy he is!”
The president’s tweet came as excerpts from Bolton’s forthcoming memoir surfaced, revealing previously unreported claims about members of the Trump administration and the president himself.
Bolton also accused Trump, during an interview with ABC News, of being more focused on winning November’s election than American interests.
