Trump says Pompeo not under consideration to replace Bolton
President Trump on Thursday said he does not plan to make Secretary of State Mike Pompeo his national security adviser.
The president told reporters as he left to attend a GOP House retreat in Baltimore that he spoke with Pompeo earlier in the day, and that the secretary of State "liked the idea of somebody [else] in there."
"I think he is fantastic," Trump said of Pompeo.
Reports circulated this week that Trump may consider appointing Pompeo to replace former national security adviser John Bolton, who he fired on Tuesday.

He probably wants Ivanka for the job.
