Bolton reportedly writes Trump asked him to help pressure Ukraine in May meeting with Cipollone
Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has even more bombshells to offer in his upcoming book. Not long before President Trump's Senate impeachment trial was set to resume Friday, The New York Times reported that in Bolton's book, he alleges Trump in May 2019 directed him to help with a Ukraine pressure campaign. This would have been two months before Trump's infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he pushed for investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son. Bolton reportedly writes that during an Oval Office meeting also attended by Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and White House counsel Pat Cipollone, Trump told him "to call Volodymyr Zelensky, who had recently won election as president of Ukraine, to ensure Mr. Zelensky would meet with Mr. Giuliani, who was planning a trip to Ukraine to discuss the investigations that the president sought." Bolton writes he did not end up making the call. The…
Trump's impeachment trial might not wrap up today after all
Thought President Trump's impeachment trial was hours away from wrapping up? Think again. The Senate on Friday morning seemed headed toward acquitting Trump as soon as this evening, but The Washington Post is now reporting the impeachment trial is looking like it might actually last into next week, possibly not ending until as late as next Wednesday. According to the Post, the Senate may "take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial's endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators." If the trial ends up lasting until Wednesday, this would mean Trump would have not yet been acquitted by the time he delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for Tuesday. It also means the trial wouldn't be over in time for Monday's Iowa caucuses, much to the chagrin of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Politico's Jake Sherman is reporting the same, writing that the trial going…
