Former White House national security adviser John Bolton will claim in his forthcoming book that President Trump engaged in “misconduct with other countries,” beyond his contacts with Ukraine, the subject of the president’s impeachment by House lawmakers last year.
……..
In a passage from the epilogue of the book, Bolton also alleges that Trump directed “the seizure and withholding of my advisors’ personal and other unclassified documents,” amid other claims of “outright threats of censorship.”
“As if impeachment were not enough, I also found myself confronting the daunting challenge of fighting an incumbent President determined to prevent publication of a book about my White House experiences. Trump behaved typically, directing the seizure and withholding of my advisors’ personal and other unclassified documents, despite numerous requests for their return; obstructing my Twitter account; and making outright threats of censorship,” Bolton wrote.
“His reaction thus ranged from the mean-spirited to the constitutionally impermissible. My reaction … my response? Game on,” Bolton continued.

Bolton book will say Trump committed "Ukraine-like transgressions" across his entire foreign policy.
Yet he and his deputy chose to legally fight efforts to tell Congress about it during impeachment. https://t.co/nNK5o6gFLA

"What Bolton did astonished all: a hack for whom getting published was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation." https://t.co/m43EfpXrW7

If only there had been some sort of congressional investigation into the president’s behavior at which John Bolton could have testified.
If only. https://t.co/hYbVjYOLvg

John Bolton's new book will detail how Trump is exactly who you think he is.
A crook who only cares about re-election.
He'll kill everyone he can to win.#EndTrumpsWarOnAmerica https://t.co/Jj30JAvYpm
