President-elect Donald Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton is reacting to Trump’s cabinet picks. He called for an FBI investigation into two of his choices: Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz.

Trump choosing Gaetz, a now-former Florida representative, as attorney general was a surprise to both Democrats and Republicans. Gaetz was investigated by the Justice Department over allegations related to sex trafficking.

Prosecutors did not charge Gaetz. He was also under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations including sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, converting campaign funds for personal use and accepting a bribe.

The former Florida representative also has a history of being at odds with the DOJ over the Jan. 6 riots and has been accused of spreading conspiracy theories. Gaetz has called for the FBI to be defunded and abolished.

When it comes to Gabbard, a former congresswoman and veteran, both parties are pointing out her views on Russia as she’s been accused of amplifying Russian propaganda. Trump tapped Gabbard to be the next director of national intelligence.

In 2022, Gabbard said the U.S. had been funding biological laboratories in Ukraine. Some have also criticized the fact she never worked an intelligence job or served on a congressional intelligence committee.

Bolton said because of the track record Gabbard and Gaetz have, he wants the FBI to get involved.

“With his announcement of Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence, he’s sending a signal that we’ve lost our mind when it comes to collecting intelligence,” Bolton said. “I don’t think she or Matt Gaetz should have a confirmation hearing until they have both had full field FBI investigations.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted her support for Gaetz on X.

Another incredible choice by President Trump to nominate my friend, @mattgaetz, as the next Attorney General of the United States.

For the past four years, the Department of Justice has been a haven for corruption and political persecution.

“For the past four years, the department of justice has been a haven for corruption and political persecution,” Greene said.

Conservative author and activist Brigitte Gabriel is giving props to Gaetz and Gabbard in response to Bolton’s comments.

“I trust patriots like Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard, not John Bolton,” Gabriel said.

PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR JOHN BOLTON IS CALLING FOR AN F-B-I INVESTIGATION INTO TWO OF TRUMP’S CABINET PICKS – TULSI GABBARD AND MATT GAETZ.

With his announcement of Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence, he’s sending a signal that we’ve lost our mind when it comes to collecting intelligence ..

Up until a few hours ago, I would have said that (Gabbard) was the worst Cabinet appointment in recent American history. Since Matt Gaetz’s nomination (to be attorney general), he clearly has taken the lead on that score.

i dont think she or matt gaetz should have a confirmation hearing until they have both had full field FBI investigations

TRUMP CHOOSING NOW FORMER REPRESENTATIVE GAETZ AS ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINEE WAS A SURPRISE TO BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS CONSIDERING HE WAS INVESTIGATED BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OVER ALLEGATIONS RELATED TO SEX TRAFFICKING.

PROSECUTORS DID NOT CHARGE GAETZ. .

GAETZ WAS ALSO UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE FOR ALLEGATIONS INCLUDING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT, ILLICIT DRUG USE, CONVERTING CAMPAIGN FUNDS FOR PERSONAL USE AND ACCEPTING A BRIBE.

GAETZ HAS A HISTORY OF BEING AT ODDS WITH THE DOJ OVER THE JANUARY 6 RIOTS.HE HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF SPREADING CONSPIRACY THEORIES. HE’S CALLED FOR THE FBI TO BE DEFUNDED AND ABOLISHED.

I think republican senators should reject both of them.

WHEN IT COMES TO GABBARD … A FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN AND VETERAN … WHOM TRUMP PICKED TO BE THE NEXT DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE … BOTH PARTIES ARE POINTING OUT HER VIEWS ON RUSSIA AS SHE’S BEEN ACCUSED OF AMPLIFYING RUSSIAN PROPOGANDA.

IN 20-22 SHE SAID THE U-S HAD BEEN FUNDING BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES IN UKRAINE.

SOME HAVE ALSO CRITICIZED THE FACT SHE’S NEVER WORKED AN INTELLIGENCE JOB OR SERVED ON THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE.

BOLTON SAYS BECAUSE OF GABBARDS AND GAETZ’ TRACK RECORDS …HE WANTS THE F-B-I TO GET INVOLVED.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE POSTED HER *SUPPORT* FOR GAETZ ON X SAYING “FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS BEEN A HAVEN FOR CORRUPTION AND POLITICAL PERSECUTION.”

AND CONSERVATIVE AUTHOR AND ACTIVIST BRIGITTE GABRIEL IS GIVING PROPS TO GAETZ AND GABBARD IN RESPONSE TO BOLTON’S COMMENTS SAYING ON X … “I TRUST PATRIOTS LIKE MATT GAETZ AND TULSI GABBARD, NOT JOHN BOLTON.”.
