Former national security adviser John Bolton has joined a growing list of top U.S. officials to refute a report that claimed, citing anonymous sources, that President Donald Trump spoke disparagingly about fallen U.S. military personnel and canceled a visit to an American cemetery during a trip to France because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead.

Bolton on Monday dismissed last week’s report by magazine The Atlantic as “simply false” during an appearance on Fox News’s “The Story.”
