WASHINGTON _ Over 17 months at the White House as national security adviser, John Bolton says he never came across evidence that President Donald Trump had been personally compromised by a foreign power, financially or otherwise.
But in an interview with McClatchy on Friday, Bolton _ promoting his White House memoir, "The Room Where it Happened" _ described what he saw as an even worse scenario.
"I have no evidence of financial compromise or personal compromise _ what the Russians in Soviet days used to call kompromat," Bolton said in the phone interview. "I don't know of anything like that. I just think it's a mistake in the way he views the world, which is actually more serious, I think."
