ISTANBUL — Turkey slammed a tell-all memoir by former US national security adviser John Bolton that included revelations about discussions between the two countries’ leaders, saying it contained “manipulative” depictions of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has always been “straightforward” about his dealings with the US administration.
On Tuesday Bolton, who served as President Donald Trump’s chief adviser on national security affairs until September 2019, published “The Room Where It Happened,” a blunt account of the US president’s conduct with foreign leaders during Bolton’s 17 months in the job. Trump has accused his former aide of both lying and revealing classified information.
