Trump’s former US security adviser admits to organising coups abroad.

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

John Bolton, a former national security adviser for the United States under former President Donald Trump, has admitted that while serving in the White House, he assisted in the planning of attempted coups in other nations.

After a congressional hearing into the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Bolton, who made the admission in an interview with CNN on Tuesday, specifically mentioned that in 2019 he publicly supported Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido’s call for the military to support his effort to overthrow socialist President Nicolas Maduro, arguing that Maduro’s reelection was invalid. Maduro eventually remained in charge.

In the interview, Bolton said trump was not competent enough to pull off a “carefully planned coup d’etat,” so someone, referring to himself, had to help.

“As somebody who has helped plan coups d’etat – not here but you know in other places – it takes a lot of work. And that’s not what he (Trump) did.

“I’m not going to get into the specifics but you can say the case of – Venezuela. It turned out not to be successful. Not that we had all that much to do with it but I saw what it took for an opposition to try and overturn an illegally elected president and they failed.

“But there were others in other places around the world but we will not go into details,” Bolton was quoted as saying, suggesting that he may have been involved in the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in recent years.
