James Mattis Jokes With John Bolton About Being The ‘Devil Incarnate’

As U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis greeted new National Security Advisor John Bolton yesterday, he jokingly said he’d heard Bolton was the devil incarnate.

“Thank you for coming, and good to finally meet you,” Mattis said. “I’ve heard you’re actually the devil incarnate, and I wanted to meet you.”
