Trump supporters urge donors to shun John Bolton's super PAC after bombshell book revelations
Several of President Donald Trump's most loyal donors and supporters are telling other conservative financiers to shun national security advisor John Bolton's political action committee and super PAC as he prepares to publish a memoir that is reportedly critical of the administration.
The financiers are signalling to their networks not to give to his committees following a report in The New York Times about claims Bolton made in a draft of the book, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter who declined to be named in order to speak freely about Bolton. The move by these donors to take on Bolton is the latest example of how Trump has command of those who fund the Republican Party.
"You're on the president's side or you're not. It's simple," said Arthur Schwartz, a Republican consultant with close ties to the White House.
Bolton is a longtime pillar of the Republican foreign policy establishment. Known for his hawkish views on adversarial nations such as Iran and North Korea, Bolton served in the Reagan administration as well as the administrations of both President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush.
