President Trump continued his war of words against former Secretary of Defense James Mattis on Thursday, tweeting a letter purportedly written by his former attorney John Dowd that attacked Mattis for criticizing Trump's response to ongoing protests.
The letter knocks Mattis' military service and suggests he let "hack politicians" abuse his reputation. Dowd, a retired Marine Judge Advocate who Trump called "a Super Star lawyer," served as Trump's lead counsel in the Russia investigation before resigning in March 2018.
"I slept on your statement and woke up appalled and upset," Dowd wrote. "You lost me. Never dreamed you would let a bunch of hack politicians use your good name and reputation-earned with the blood and guts of young Marines. You did what you said you [wouldn't] -- engage in this discourse. Marines keep their word." Click here for more.
