Three top aides to former national security adviser John Bolton submitted their resignations on Wednesday a day after Bolton and President Donald Trump parted ways.
Garrett Marquis, Boltons top spokesman, Sarah Tinsley, his communications director, and scheduler Christine Samuelian all resigned in what a source called an amicable fashion.
It was an honor to serve my country, and I wish the president and the administration success moving forward, Marquis said in a brief statement.
The trio of aides has worked for Bolton for years.

Yes, so Bret Baier can talk about this and ignore the election in NC.
A spokesdork, a scheduler and a comms director. How will the Republic survive?
I guess Trump blew off Romney’s demand that Bolton be re-hired.
The fake news is spinning this as Trump just doesn’t want people around him who disagrees with him.
Instead of Bolton was too Hawkish for Trump. If it was up to Bolton we would have gotten in wars in Syria, Venezuela, and Iran. And probably China.
“Maybe????? They were ALLOWED to resign unlike Bolton.”
When I was an administrator, I usually gave people whom the governing board wanted out an opportunity to resign unless there was a clear violation of the law or an egregious violation of company policy. However, the distinction between a resignation and a firing is often purely semantic. Trump said last night that he asked Bolton to submit his resignation. Thus, Bolton is semantically correct that he resigned but, for all practical purposes, Bolton was fired.
Bolton’s boot lickers. Nothing unusual.
Heh, conservatives fire folks when they cannot perform to standards.
Progressives fire folks when they cannot lie to standards.
Oh that’ll teach Trump.
Pablum suckers abound...
“Why did they take this long?”
To drive the Republican wins in NC off the news.
Why does the National Security Advisor need a Communications Director? Isn’t a big part of his job not communication to outside parties?
This is the best part.
Bolton’s people didn’t leak regardless of what is posted here in FR. Under him the NSC was hermetically sealed. The final straw was that Bolton had told Trump on several occasions that he wasting his breath with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pompeo was ambivalent. Trump didn’t like the fact that Bolton could, from last Friday forward, tell the CinC, “see, I told you so.” Finally, it is rather too bad that with regard to the people that surrounded Trump he has felt it necessary to send them off with a load of snide comments. Quite frankly, he is a thankless boss.
My first thought as soon as I saw Romney running out to defend Bolton....
I’m generally fairly up on news - but what has happened to Bolton? There was a day in the not-so-distant past where he was hailed as practically a hero of the Conservatives. Now suddenly he is the bad guy?
I’m not arguing for or against him - I’m trying to figure out what changed and why...
Rosenstein is a rat and new Judicial Watch documents released this week prove it.
Very cool.
I saw the highlights on Quickpitch early this morning. Beautiful!
