Rep. Schiff speaks after the Trump impeachment trial ended for the day in Washington. WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump told a then-top aide in August he wanted to freeze security aid to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, the New York Times reported on Sunday .

Trump has denied wrongdoing and calls the impeachment process a sham. The White House, which with Senate leaders has resisted calling witnesses, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the New York Times report, nor did Jay Sekulow, who is helping lead the Republican president's defence.

The House impeached Trump on charges of abusing the powers of his office by asking Ukraine to investigate Biden and of obstructing a congressional inquiry into his conduct. Officials had frozen the aid, and a deadline was looming to begin sending it, Bolton noted, according to the newspaper.
