Trump denies telling Bolton that Ukraine aid was tied to investigations, as explosive book claiming otherwise leaks
President Trump said early Monday that he “NEVER told John Bolton that aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into the Bidens or Democrats,” contrary to assertions Bolton reportedly made in the manuscript of his soon-to-be-published book, aptly titled, “The Room Where It Happened.”
The president’s tweet, just after midnight Monday, was his first reaction to a story in the New York Times about the forthcoming book by the president’s former national security adviser.
The book excerpt, and the leak, have the potential to increase pressure on the Senate to call witnesses in the impeachment trial of the president and, beyond that, to challenge the core defense of Trump, his lawyers and his supporters in Congress.
The Times reported late Sunday that, in the manuscript, Bolton writes of Trump telling him in August that “he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped him with investigations” into Democrats, including former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who had been employed by a Ukrainian energy company.

It appears someone associated with the NSC is still loyal to their country. The fat lying bastard is most likely interrogating people in the Oval Office searching for the patriots who leaked that manuscript. Lots more coming!
