US officials have stymied National Security Adviser John Bolton’s efforts to get involved in matters of foreign policy, and have even gone so far as to try and exclude him from top level meetings, according to a Washington Post report published Friday.
According to the report, which cited six unnamed senior US officials, Bolton was not initially invited to a meeting comprised of top military officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, CIA Director Gina Haspel, and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
The meeting to discuss a possible peace plan with the Taliban in Afghanistan was held at President Donald Trump’s golf club in New Jersey earlier in August.
