WASHINGTON – Congress seems largely done with John Bolton.That's despite the stunning allegations the former national security adviser leveled against his former boss, President Donald Trump, in a new book detailing Bolton's 17 months in the White House.
Bolton wrote that Trump “pleaded” with China’s Xi Jinping during a 2019 summit to help his reelection prospects and engaged in a pattern that resembled “obstruction of justice as a way of life.”Trump denounced the book from Bolton, known as a prodigious note taker, as “a compilation of lies and made up stories.”As shocking as the allegations are, Bolton is making them with impeachment in the rearview mirror, amid a pandemic and widespread racial tensions and less than five months before.
