President Donald Trump is denying that he told former National Security Adviser John Bolton he wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until the country launched investigations into Joe Biden and his son, allegations that Bolton levies in his new book, according to news reports.
But one of Trumps former top aides told a Sarasota crowd Monday evening that if the reporting on what Bolton wrote is accurate, he believes Bolton.
If John Bolton says that in the book I believe John Bolton, said retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as Trumps chief of staff for 18 months.
Hopefully the drip...drip...drip is getting more frequent.

(53,815 posts)I'm sure you know that, right? How do you think all those 'tell-all books got their info?
The NYT has the book also.

(23,648 posts)what i've read, the only copy that has gone out from publisher is
1 to the white house for classified info check
no other copies released, so NYTimes doesn't have a copy, just what was leaked to them... could be the whole book, maybe just excerpts
