The New York Times reports that former National Security Advisor John Bolton said President Donald Trump told him he wanted military aid to Ukraine linked to an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in his forthcoming book.
The report led to a new round of calls for senators to subpoena Bolton as a witness in the Senate trial.
So basically Bolton didn’t want to testify to House bc then what’s coming out now would be old news and might hurt the preorder sales for his book? Just trying to do the math
