President Trump takes to Twitter on Monday morning to dispute details in John Bolton's bombshell new book, asserting that he never linked investigations of Democrats to Ukraine aid.
in August that nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine would not be released until it provided all of the information it had in connection to the investigations of Democrats that the president sought. One month earlier, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden and Democrats.
The Times report cited multiple sources familiar with Bolton's account and the contents of his manuscript were described as roughly how the former national security adviser would testify before the Senate if called. At least four Republicans need to vote in favor of additional witness testimony for that to happen.
"I think the timing of all of this is very, very suspect," she said."You know, our team just went on Saturday and in two hours and did all of the hours and hours and 24 hours that the Dems did in the Senate trial. And it's very clear the president did nothing wrong. And then suddenly, this manuscript has magically appeared in the hands of The New York Times making very, very big claims.
