Donald Trump has reacted angrily after the manuscript of ex-national security adviser John Bolton’s new book was leaked, in which the former aide claims the president told him the decision to withhold military assistance to
Ukraine last summer was explicitly tied to demands for an investigation into Joe Biden.“If
John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book,” Mr Trump tweeted, as the revelation ramped up pressure on
Republican senators to allow for new witnesses to be called to his impeachment trial, which resumes today with the president’s counsel continuing to make the case for the defence.
