Two top Trump administration officials accused former national security adviser John Bolton of spreading lies in his new book, “The Room Where it Happened,” with one calling him a “traitor.”

In a statement titled “I Was In The Room Too,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Bolton of “spreading a number of lies, fully-spun half-truths, and outright falsehoods” in his memoir, which is slated for publication on June 23.
