House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the revelations in a book by former top White House aide John Bolton shows that Trump is unfit and unprepared to be the president
“President Trump is clearly ethically unfit and intellectually unprepared to be the president of the United States,” Pelosi, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, told a news briefing.
Bolton refused to testify in the House’s impeachment probe last year and threatened to sue if subpoenaed. He offered to testify in the subsequent trial in the Senate, but the Republican-controlled chamber did not take him up on the offer. The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday sued to block Bolton from releasing the book on the grounds that the latest draft still contained classified information.
In his book, “The Room Where It Happened,” Bolton said Trump expressed a willingness to halt criminal investigations to favor dictators he liked.
