“I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens,” the president wrote online.
President Donald Trump claimed early Monday morning that he “NEVER” communicated to John Bolton that hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine was conditioned on foreign probes into his domestic political rivals — a vehement denial that comes amid intensified calls for testimony by the former national security adviser at the president’s Senate impeachment trial.
Trump delivered his repudiation of the explosive new allegations in a series of tweets shortly after midnight, hours afterfirst reported Sunday that Trump told Bolton in August that the administration should continue withholding $391 million in security assistance until officials in the Eastern European nation helped with investigations targeting former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democrats, according to an initial draft of Bolton’s forthcoming book.
