Bolton Urges FBI to Probe Gabbard and Gaetz: “Serious Threat”
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has expressed serious concerns regarding Donald Trump’s nominations of Rep. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence respectively, calling for full FBI investigations into both candidates before their Senate confirmation hearings. Bolton specifically cited Gabbard’s past espousal of Russian propaganda and Gaetz’s ongoing Justice Department investigation as reasons for concern, stating their appointments pose a “serious threat” to national security and intelligence gathering. He believes these appointments represent a significant departure from traditional practices and raise alarming questions about the integrity and competence of the Trump administration.
