Conservative lawyer George Conway on Sunday dismissed the possibility of being next on President Trump’s “enemies list.”
During an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend: Primetime”, Conway and others discussed a federal grand jury. recently convicted ex National Security Advisor John Bolton.
“Answer yes or no, are you worried you’re next on the enemies list?” MSNBC’s Katherine Rampel asked Conway after the discussion about Bolton, who was married to former senior adviser Kellyanne Conway during Trump’s first term.
“No,” Conway replied.
“Okay,” said Rampel.
“Let him try,” Conway said.
A federal grand jury indicted Bolton last week on charges of disseminating and retaining national defense information. Prosecutors have alleged that, from the spring of 2018 to at least the late summer of this year, the former national security adviser “abused” his old role to share more than a thousand pages of information on his daily activities in the job with two unauthorized individuals.
According to the indictment, the information included details marked as top secret and involving national defense and was sent to the two men through “diary-like entries” through non-government messaging apps and email accounts.
In the wake of his indictment, Bolton, who argued that he did not break the law in handling information he used for a book on his experiences, compared the Trump administration to the Soviet Union. dictator joseph stalin secret police.
“I have become the latest target of the Justice Department’s attempts to weaponize those it considers its enemies by accusing them of using material that has previously been denied or distorting the facts,” Bolton said in a statement.
“Then came Trump 2, who epitomizes what the head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police once said, ‘You show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.'”
Hill has contacted the White House for comment.
