Bolton spokesperson denies report he'll vote for Biden
A spokesperson for John Bolton, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser, denied a report Sunday that Bolton intends to vote for Democrat Joe Biden in December, contrary to published reports. "This statement is incorrect. The Ambassador never said he planned to vote for Joe Biden," Bolton spokesperson Sarah Tinsley told Axios on Sunday. "He has consistently said in recent days he will be writing in the name of a conservative Republican. Let there be no doubt - he will not be voting for Trump or Biden." In an interview published late Sunday by The Telegraph, Bolton said that after seeing Trump in action, he cannot vote for him again. "In 2016 I voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton," he told the Telegraph. "Now, having seen this president up close, I cannot do this again. My concern is for the country, and he does not represent the Republican cause that I want to back." Bolton added that he believes Trump has no philosophy or strategy. "He does not know the difference between the national interest of the U.S., and the interests of Donald Trump. There is confusion over the national interest and his personal interest, which is very dangerous for the country," he said. Bolton's tell-all book about his time in the White House, which is harshly critical of Trump, is scheduled to be published Tuesday.

Turkey Says Haftar Forces Need To Pull Out From Key City For Libya Ceasefire
Turkey on Saturday said Khalifa Haftar's forces in Libya need to withdraw from the strategic city of Sirte for a ceasefire agreement to be reached and accused France of "jeopardising" NATO security by backing him.
Ankara's support for the UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) in Tripoli has turned the tide in the conflict in Libya which has been mired in fighting between rival groups since a 2011 uprising toppled longtime dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
Haftar, a former Kadhafi army commander who is supported by Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, has been battling to take the capital Tripoli since last year.
Ibrahim Kalin, the Turkish presidential spokesman, said that Turkey supports the GNA position that Sirte and Al-Jufra should be evacuated by Haftar's LNA forces for a "sustainable ceasefire."
"It should be a sustainable ceasefire, meaning that the other side, the LNA (Libyan National Army), should not be in a position to launch another attack on the legitimate Libyan government any time it wants," Kalin told AFP in an interview in Istanbul.
