President Donald Trump acknowledged the United States was 'risking military confrontation' with Iran.
President Donald Trump acknowledged the United States was"risking military confrontation" with Iran and said former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for interfering with potential negotiations with Tehran.
"What I'd like to see with Iran, I'd like to see them call me," Trump said Thursday. "You know John Kerry speaks to them a lot, John Kerry tells them not to call. That's a violation of the Logan Act." Kerry served as secretary of state under former Democratic President Barack Obama, succeeding Hillary Clinton and assuming office in February 2013.
Trump continued railing against Kerry. "That's a violation of the Logan Act. And frankly, he should be prosecuted in that, but my people don't want to do anything that's—only the Democrats do that kind of stuff." Trump said if Kerry was a Republican, Democrats would absolutely prosecute him under the Logan Act. During Obama's presidency, Kerry reportedly frequently met and spoke with Iranian leaders including Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Trump said he frequently"tempers" hawkish national security adviser JohnBolton is which prompted laughs at the White House as he claimed to have"a little more doveish" people in his staff.
