Former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton claims in his forthcoming memoir that President Trump committed impeachable offenses that House Democrats never investigated, according to a copy of the book obtained by the New York Times.
In the memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” Bolton claims that not only did Trump explicitly condition aid to Ukraine on investigations involving former Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, he on several occasions signaled that he was willing to end criminal investigations “to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked.” Trump also allegedly tried to persuade Chinese President Xi Jinping to buy large amounts of agricultural products to improve his re-election prospects in agricultural states.

Trump asked Chinese president to help him win reelection and told Xi he agreed that China should build concentration camps for 1 million Muslims. https://t.co/ZyVPr5Sd8U

I know we're all saying "IF ONLY BOLTON HAD TESTIFIED," but the GOP Senate had everything it needed to convict him, and they were never going to do it. This was never going to matter, but speaking up would have been the patriotic thing to do, no matter what the GOP did.

The thing is, there's not a Republican in the @SenateGOP who didn't know all this already. They chose party over the Constitution and over the country itself. Bolton was never going to change that, so he and his book are irrelevant now, except to remind us that Trump has to go. https://t.co/ydbNI4CadJ

A. John Bolton is not a patriot.
B. Donald Trump never should have been allowed anywhere near the White House.
C. We knew both of these facts before Bolton's book, but both facts are more obvious now.— Steven Beschloss (@StevenBeschloss) June 17, 2020
I wish any of us were capable of being surprised. https://t.co/8eeRFJOSsA
