Conspiracy
In the book, he accuses Haley of conspiring with Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner to be appointed vice president.
British The Guardian recounts allegations that Haley tricked Chief of Staff John Kelly into thinking she was going to a meeting with the president alone, but trooped into the Oval Office with Kushner and Ivanka.
– After what Kelly understood, they presented a possible alternative with Haley as vice president. I can’t confirm this, but Kelly was sure he was tricked, and he wasn’t happy about it, Pompeo writes in the book according to The Guardian.
Covid notice
According to New York Post Pompeo also reveals that he received a specific message from the boss himself following a meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping.
On March 25, 2020, Pompeo made bold statements related to China and the Coronavirus. He consistently called it “Wuhan-viruset», and was critical of the Chinese authorities’ lack of communication regarding the outbreak and the virus.
According to this, New York Post have infuriated China’s president, which he made clear to his American counterpart.
Furthermore, Pompeo writes that Trump stated the following in a telephone conversation soon after:
– For God’s sake, shut up for a little while!
According to the book, Trump is said to have stated that Pompeo exposed the US to risk by provoking Jinping, because the US needed infection control equipment from China.
Controversies
Trump’s third national security adviser, John Bolten, will also be reviewed.
Pompeo writes, among other things, that Trump called him a “scumbag loser” (“dirtsekk taper” in Norwegian. Journ.anm.). Bolton was fired by Trump in 2019.
Failing the friend: – Crazy
According to the British newspaper, however, Pompeo is mostly respectful in his tone towards Donald Trump – and even more so his vice president Mike Pence.
The latter has not formally said that he is standing as a presidential candidate in 2024, but he flirts quite openly with the idea. He has also written a biography called “So help me God”, in which he opens up about controversies with the old boss.
