The editorial board of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal has called out President Donald Trump, 80, for his treatment of a former adviser, saying his behavior smacks of “raw vindictiveness.”

John Bolton, who was Trump’s national security adviser in his first term, has long been on a list of Americans targeted for assassination by Iran, https://www.wsj.com/opinion/john-bolton-donald-trump-iran-list-security-secret-service-5294ef4c?mod=hp_opin_pos_1" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.wsj.com/opinion/john-bolton-donald-trump-iran-list-security-secret-service-5294ef4c?mod=hp_opin_pos_1">the Journal said.
