John Bolton: ‘Disqualifying’ for 2024 Candidates to Promise that They’ll Pardon Trump
‘I can’t think of a higher duty for the president, a higher example of leadership to sit, for everybody below him in the executive branch who deals with classified information, than to handle it carefully’

Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton hit out against Republican primary candidates who said former President Donald Trump should be pardoned, arguing that such a position should disqualify those candidates from becoming president.
During an appearance on CNN Tonight, Bolton said, “I think it’s unlikely that a former president would be actually put in jail. I can’t imagine what the Secret Service would think of that and what it would do to their job. You know, there comes a point where the penalty just makes him into a martyr.”
