Bolton links Trump's criticism of Cheney to impeachment vote after January 6 attack
Former national security adviser John Bolton stated that former President Trump's criticism of Liz Cheney is linked to her impeachment vote after the January 6 Capitol attack, rather than her foreign policy views. Cheney was one of ten Republicans who voted for impeachment in 2021. Trump recently labeled Cheney a "radical war hawk" and suggested she should face combat. Cheney responded by condemning Trump's remarks, claiming they threaten free speech and likening them to dictator tactics. Trump later clarified his comments, calling Cheney a "dumb war hawk" and criticizing her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, for his foreign policy actions. The Trump campaign has not yet commented on the situation.
