Former Trump advisor admits he helped organize foreign plates

Bolton made the statement on CNN following the Congress hearing hearing about the events of January 6, 2021, where protesters entered the building to challenge Joe Biden's certificate of office of president of the United States. For the event, former President Trump is accused of inciting the crowd.

In the interview for Jake Tapper, Bolton, said Trump was unable to realise a coup. Speaking as someone who helped plan coups, not here, but elsewhere, takes a lot of work. And he didn't do this”, Bolton said.

Taper asked Bolton what coups the state was talking about. “won't give details”, Bolton said, before mentioning Venezuela. “He did not succeed. Not that we had a lot of role in it, but I saw what an opposition had to do to try to bring down an illegally elected president and they failed”, he said.

In 2019, as national security adviser, Bolton came to support the opposition leader in Venezuela, Juan Guaido, who asked the military to support him to oust President Nicolas Maduro from power, claiming his victory in the election was illegal.

I think there are other things you're not telling me (between Venezuela)”, Taper asked. “

The United States has often been criticised over the years for intervention in other states from the collapse of Iranian nationalist Prime Minister Mohammad Mosadedgh in 1953 to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. But it is very unusual for an American official to openly acknowledge his role in promoting unrest in foreign countries.
