Trump lashed out at his former national security adviser late Sunday night after the NYT reported John Bolton recalled that Trump told him in August that he wanted $391M in aid to Ukraine frozen until that country launched investigations into Joe Biden
President Trump lashed out at his former national security adviser on Twitter late Sunday night after the New York Times reported John Bolton, in an initial draft of his upcoming book, recalled that Trump told him in August that he wanted $391 million in aid to Ukraine frozen until that country’s government launched investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
“With that being said,” the president continued, “the transcripts of my calls with President Zelensky are all the proof that is needed, in addition to the fact that President Zelensky & the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said there was no pressure and no problems. Additionally, I met with President Zelensky at the United Nations and released the military aid to Ukraine without any conditions or investigations - and far ahead of schedule.
Trump’s response to the report comes as his defense team prepares for day two of opening arguments in his impeachment trial after the Democratic House managers laid out their case last week charging the president with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over his dealings with Ukraine. Story continuesTrump has repeatedly claimed the July 25 call in which he asked Zelensky for a “favor” was “perfect,” and that Zelensky’s assertion that he did not feel pressure as proof of his innocence.
