Hours after President Trump announced via Twitter the resignation of National Security Adviser John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin answered several questions from reporters about the resignation. The two officials said Mr. Bolton, who was earlier slated to attend the briefing, but did not do so, served at the pleasure of the president. While they both acknowledged foreign policy disagreements with Mr. Bolton, they said the president’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran would remain. Secretaries Pompeo and Mnuchin held the briefing to announce an executive order that would allow the administration to expand sanctions against suspected terrorists. Secretary Pompeo also refuted news reports about a CIA source within the Kremlin who was reportedly extracted by the agency. close
