John Bolton says he will write in Dick Cheney instead of voting for Biden

Former national security adviser says he will cast vote for ex-vice-president despite saying Trump must not be re-elected

John Bolton, a former national security adviser to Donald Trump who wrote a tell-all book and now campaigns against him, will cast a write-in vote for the former vice-president Dick Cheney instead of Joe Biden this year - despite saying Trump must not be re-elected.

Bemoaning Trump's focus on the 2020 election, which he lost conclusively but falsely insists was won with electoral fraud, Bolton told CNN that four years ago: I voted for Dick Cheney.
