According to The Daily Wire, President Trump issued a fiery statement responding to a report on an unpublished manuscript of John Bolton’s upcoming book, which stated that the president told him specifically that the withholding of Ukraine aid was connected to investigations involving the Ukrainian energy company that paid then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son tens of thousands of dollars a month.
Trump tweeted, “I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book.”
