The tweet came just minutes after The Daily Telegraph published an interview with Bolton in which the ex-national security adviser said he wouldn't support Trump in November. The article had initially reported that Bolton said he would vote for former Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenBolton defends not testifying: 'I don't think it would have made a difference' Bolton says he hopes history will remember Trump 'as a one-term president' Green Party nominee says Sanders, progressives have failed to pull Democrats to the left MORE (D), but a spokesman for Bolton denied that statement, clarifying that Bolton wouldn't support either candidate in the election.

Pompeo has acted as the administration's public face running defense against the claims made in Bolton's book, "The Room Where it Happened," set to publish later this month. Bolton makes a multitude of claims in the book, such as insinuating that Trump approached China's president, Xi Jinping, about assistance in his efforts to defeat Biden.

Bolton also alleges in his book that Pompeo has a dim view of Trump, claiming that the secretary of State at one point passed Bolton a note saying, “he is so full of s--t,” referring to Trump.

"I’ve not read the book, but from the excerpts I’ve seen published, John Bolton is spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehood," the secretary tweeted last week.
