OnPolitics: John Bolton mocked Trump after USA TODAY interview

John Bolton's book has been creating buzz and appears to go directly after President Trump. Read what he told us about about the book.

Did you see what Trump's former national security adviser did after his exclusive interview with USA TODAY? It's cool, we'll tell you.

John Bolton stood to pose for a photograph holding a copy of "The Room Where It Happened," the memoir being published by Simon & Schuster. "Shall I hold it like this?" he asked with a broad grin, lifting it over his head.
