President Donald Trump on Sunday lambasted his former national security advisor, John Bolton after the onetime ally publicly criticized the president over a report in The New York Times that he was considering martial law to overturn the results of the presidential election.

Shortly after midnight, Trump went after Bolton, slamming his intelligence and previous foreign policy decisions.

"What would Bolton, one of the dumbest people in Washington, know?," Trump wrote. "Wasn't he the person who so stupidly said, on television, 'Libyan solution', when describing what the U.S. was going to do for North Korea. I've got plenty of other Bolton 'stupid stories.'"
