Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions criticized former White House national security adviser John Bolton in a series of tweets for reportedly writing in his upcoming memoir that President Trump allegedly told him he wanted to condition military aid to Ukraine on investigations into Democrats.
Sessions tweeted that he did not “write a book or go on CNN” regarding his time in the Trump administration because “I don’t believe it is the honorable thing to do. You are there to serve his agenda, not your own. He was elected, not you,” and adding “t is an act of disloyalty to the administration one serves, and tends to undermine the unity and teamwork needed to reach the highest level of effectiveness.”

Lastly, Sessions said, “it sets a very damaging and dangerous precedent. A President must have the ability to have candid conversations with his National Security Advisor, his AG, his SOS, etc., without fear that those conversations will end up in a book or a newspaper.”
