Former national security adviser John Bolton claims in his new book that the House impeachment inquiry should have investigated President Trump for potentially dubious actions beyond those related to Ukraine, the New York Times reports
Specifically, Bolton highlights Trump's willingness to intervene in criminal investigations"to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked," noting cases involving law firms in China and Turkey, the Times said."The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn't accept," Bolton writes, according to the Times.
The legal fight over the release of the book, which is billed as an insider's rebuke of Trump's foreign policy, escalated Tuesday as the Trump administration went to court to try to claw back Bolton's earnings for the book and to potentially stop the its publication, arguing in a lawsuit that Bolton had breached non-disclosure agreements and was risking national security by exposing classified information.
