"I'm not a fan of John Bolton. He's a real sort of lowlife," Trump told reporters and added that the Department of Justice would probably brief him on Friday about the search.

"He was one of the people that forced Bush to do the ridiculous bombings in the Middle East. He wants to always kill people. And he’s very bad at what he does. He’s not a smart guy… and he might be a very unpatriotic guy. We’re going to find out," he added.
