Former Republican National Security Advisor John Bolton will be stripped of his security clearance, according to an executive order issued by President Donald J. Trump. A staunch neoconservative, Bolton emerged as one of Trump’s most over-the-top critics after he was fired from the America First leader’s first administration over his extreme hawkish foreign policy views.
“National security is also damaged by the publication of classified information. Former National Security Advisor John R. Bolton published a memoir for monetary gain after he was terminated from his White House position in 2019,” Trump’s executive order states, continuing: “The book was rife with sensitive information drawn from his time in government. The memoir’s reckless treatment of sensitive information undermined the ability of future presidents to request and obtain candid advice on matters of national security from their staff.”

“Publication also created a grave risk that classified material was publicly exposed,” Trump concludes. Subsequently, the executive order, issued late Monday after Trump’s inauguration, directs “the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency…” to “revoke any current or active clearances held by…” Bolton and a number of other former intelligence officials.
Most recently, Bolton engaged in hysterics over Trump’s nomination of former Congresswoman and current military officer Tulsi Gabbard as his Director of National Intelligence.
During the 2024 presidential election, Bolton announced he was considering writing in the late President Ronald Reagan—who died in 2004—instead of voting for Trump. In 2020, Bolton says he wrote in former Vice President and Iraq War architect Dick Cheney.
