Trump Willing To 'Endanger' GOP For 'Personal Advancement,' Says Former Ally

Former National Security Adviser To Donald Trump, John Bolton, criticized the former president for not dropping out of the presidential race despite legal troubles. 

What Happened: Bolton, a former ally of Trump, on Wednesday took to Twitter to berate the former president, saying the ex-president is "willing to endanger the whole GOP” for his “personal advancement.”

"Any normal person would drop out to avoid making the primary process complicated and risking the party nominating someone who may later be convicted. Not Donald Trump. He’s willing to endanger the whole GOP and make it very difficult for the whole country solely for his own personal advancement," he wrote. 

Why It Matters: Amid the escalating competition for the Republican nomination, Bolton — who is also considering his own candidacy for the 2024 U.S. presidential election as a Republican contender — has been launching a barrage of accusations against the former president.

Last week, Bolton also criticized Trump for running his presidential campaign despite being indicted recently by federal prosecutors in a Mar-a-Lago probe. He also demanded the Republican Party to “adopt a rule that no one under Federal or state criminal indictment is eligible to be nominated for POTUS.”

Trump is a frontrunner in the GOP presidential nomination race for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Trump’s campaign has raised over $6.6 million since the federal government indicted him.
