John Bolton's upcoming book reportedly undercuts a key element of Trump’s impeachment defense, as Schumer renews calls for him to testify.
Former national security adviser John Bolton claims in his upcoming book that President Donald Trump personally told him that nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine should be frozen until Ukrainian officials agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, the New York Times reported late Sunday.
The Times said Bolton laid out the bombshell allegation in a draft manuscript for his book, which has not yet been published and has been submitted to the White House for approval. The Times said the White House review process means key parts of the book could still be cut out, or the book killed altogether.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Sunday reiterated his call for Senate Republicans to call Bolton and others with knowledge of the Ukraine dealings as witnesses in the ongoing impeachment trial. “John Bolton has the evidence,” Schumer tweeted. “It’s up to four Senate Republicans to ensure that John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and the others with direct knowledge of President Trump’s actions testify in the Senate trial.
