Former National Security Adviser
John Bolton said he doesn't regret only warning a few people about the alleged misconduct he witnessed while serving in President Trump's White House.During an interview with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Thursday afternoon, Bolton said he "passed this information to the people I thought I should pass it to and I don't have any second thoughts about that."Bolton voiced his concerns over how Trump was dealing with the leaders of Ukraine,
China, and
Turkey to Attorney General
William Barr and
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and told Wallace having known Barr for more than 30 years, he believes he's "a man of integrity. I thought he would do his
Job."Cipollone led Trump's legal team during the
Senate impeachment trial, when Trump was accused of pressuring the president of
Ukraine to dig up damaging information on former Vice President
Joe Biden, the presumptive
Democratic presidential nominee. Bolton, who refused to testify during the House impeachment inquiry, defended his decision. "I don't march to Nancy Pelosi's drum," he said, and
Democrats committed "impeachment malpractice" by not working closely with
Republicans.Wallace pressed Bolton on why he didn't tell more people his first-hand account of Trump's actions, instead holding onto the information and putting it in his new book, The Room Where It Happened. "I'm not into virtue signaling," he responded.
