US President Donald Trump, in a tweet on Thursday, shared a letter that referred to the protesters who were forcibly dispersed from a park near the White House on Monday evening as “terrorists.”
The letter was written by former marine, now attorney, John Dowd, who was once the lead attorney for the president during the Mueller investigation. Dowd’s letter is a response to former Secretary of Defense James “Jim” Mattis’s open letter to the president criticizing his treatment of protesters and accusing him of turning the public against one another.
