President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser urged Republican Party leaders Sunday to acknowledge and explain the presidential election result to their supporters rather than continuing to appease the president as he promotes baseless claims of voter fraud. “I think as every day goes by, it’s clearer and clearer there isn’t any evidence,” John Bolton said on ABC’s “This Week,” dismissing Trump’s claim that President-elect Joe Biden’s victory is illegitimate. “But if the Republican voters are only hearing Donald Trump’s misrepresentations, it’s not surprising that they believe it.”
