"I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House," Tweeted President Trump shortly after 5:00pm G.M.T.

"I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore I asked John for his resignation, which was given to me this morning.
