Democrats demand Bolton testimony after report his book says Trump tied Ukraine aid to Biden probe

WASHINGTON — Democrats stepped up their calls on Sunday night for John Bolton to testify at President Donald Trump's impeachment trial after an explosive new report alleged that in his unpublished book, the former national security adviser said Trump personally tied Ukraine aid to an investigation of the Bidens — an account that conflicts with the president's.

"John Bolton has the evidence," tweeted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

According to the manuscript, as reported by The New York Times Sunday night, Trump told Bolton that nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine would not be released until that nation offered assistance with probes into Democratic targets, including former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

NBC has not verified the report, which cited multiple sources familiar with Bolton’s account, or seen a copy of that manuscript.

The contents of that manuscript were described as a rough account of how the former Trump official would testify should he be called as a witness in the Senate trial, which is currently underway. The prospect of any new witnesses has been viewed as unlikely, given most Republicans reluctance to accept additional testimony.

Hill Democrats on Sunday said the new report highlighted the urgency of a Senate request for Bolton's testimony — a move which would require several GOP votes.

About 16 months or so ago, I saw Bolton on CNN defending Trump. He was destroying the other panelists.

Can anyone tell me what the hell happened to this guy? Seriously.

Is he being blackmailed?

Sorry, no new witnesses, you sleazebag RATS!!You rushed through a shoddy factless impeachment case, it was YOUR choice. If you want to get mad at anyone, get mad at the Vile Botoxian and Adam Schittforbrains. This sham impeachment is their brainchild.

Bolton is a disgruntled FIRED employee, and his career in government is probably over. Much like disgraced LOSERS like Jeff Flake, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, the only way he can pay the bills is by writing slanderous books, appearing on CNN, etc.

No new witnesses, PERIOD, scumbag RATS!!

Doesn’t someone at Bolton’s level have to have any bookapproved before it can be published?

If the situation were reversed the Dems would be trashing Bolton unmercifully to discredit him.

Is Bolton a wild card to be feared against Trump or not ?

Tomorrow, this will be all the Dems talk about.
They know this may be their last chance to throw a wrench in the President’s acquittal goals.

“Bottom line, the aid was released once the President was reassured that Ukraine was on the road to cleaning up its act. This is a total non-story.”

I agree, this is a non story as the facts say otherwise.

They’ve had Bolton’s story since last August when they started this charade.

It’s obviously a nothing burger otherwise they would’ve led with it.

At least they admitted that they didn’t verify anything and are running with the claim anyway.

The Dem transnationalists don’t know what’s in his book but they are desperately scared of it or they would have gone to the mat to force his testimony. Note Trump’s not indicated that he is scared of it or bothered by it at all.
