President Donald Trump on June 7 criticized former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and said he wouldn’t “in any way” support the president’s reelection bid in November.

Powell, a Republican, told CNN that Trump “lies all the time,” has “drifted away” from the U.S. Constitution, and poses a danger to American democracy, as he joined a number of Republicans and former military leaders criticizing the president amid nationwide protests in response to the death of George Floyd.
