Bolton praises McCain but offers no apology for White House aide’s remark
By Paul Kane 5 hrs ago

John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, praised Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Sunday as a fair public servant but stopped short of offering an apology for a cruel remark by a White House communications aide about the senator’s battle with brain cancer.

Bolton said he could not comment on the remark because he was not present when the aide, Kelly Sadler, told other communications aides at a closed-door staff meeting that McCain’s opposition to Gina Haspel as CIA director did not matter because ‘‘he’s dying anyway.’’

Instead, Bolton said he remained grateful for McCain’s past support, particularly during his 2005 confirmation battle to be ambassador to the United Nations, a post for which Senate Democrats blocked Bolton before George W. Bush gave him an interim appointment.
