Bolton reportedly said Trump told him he wanted to continue withholding military aid to Ukraine until its officials agreed to help probe his Democratic rivals.

Bolton's reported account of his exchange with Trump challenges arguments made by the president's legal team in the Senate impeachment trial. Trump's lawyers on Saturday said there was no evidence to suggest the president's withholding of Ukraine's military aid was related to his pursuit of a probe into the Bidens.

It also highlights the importance of witnesses in the proceedings as Republicans and Democrats gear up to determine this week whether to allow sworn testimony from Bolton and others. Bolton has indicated to lawmakers that he will testify if needed, despite Trump's order banning his former and current aides from cooperating in the investigation, which he has repeatedly dismissed as a"witch hunt.

Democrats need four—any four—Republicans to vote with them to subpoena witnesses for Trump's Senate impeachment trial. Senate Republicans continued to defend Trump on Sunday while criticizing their Democratic colleagues' calls for witnesses to appear in the trial., Senator Lindsey Graham claimed that witnesses would further bring chaos to the proceedings."What do we do?" he said.

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer speaks during a press conference to discuss what he believes is needed to ensure a fair senate impeachment trial on December 23, 2019 in New York City.

It does not matter. The Republicans in the Senate wouldn't vote to impeach this president even he if he shot and killed someone on live television.

Report: Bolton says Trump tied Ukraine funds to Biden probePresident Trump told his national security adviser he wanted to maintain a freeze on military aid to Ukraine until it launched investigations into his Democratic rivals, according to drafts of John Bolton's forthcoming book, The New York Times reports. He'll sell books but won't voluntarily testify to the truth for the good of the country. That doesn't sound like a patriot to me. I find it interesting that these leaks are so well timed.. coincidence I doubt... Every President has wanted information about themselves and their enemies... You can go down the list.... You can’t impeach some one because you don’t like them...ImpeachmentHoax Let’s see

Democrats demand Bolton testify after report his book says Trump tied Ukraine aid to Biden probeDemocrats demand that Bolton testify in the Senate impeachment trial after a NYTimes report Sunday night surfaced new details from Bolton’s upcoming book about the president and Ukraine. Janettesecond Thank god for the STILL free press! If Bolton thinks that if by not testifying he will sell a book then WE MUST BOYCOTT THE BOOK until he testifies. Sure. The timing is perfect. Just as perfect as the timing with Judge kavanaugh. You remember the story how he arraigned gang rape parties when he was 14. He’s not that smart though because if he was a Democrat he would have had an App. Like air B&B
