Trump Hits Back <br />at Bolton as Senate <br />Weighs Calling Him as Witness President Donald Trump lambasted <br />his former national security advisor, <br />John Bolton, via Twitter on Wednesday morning. In a double tweet, Trump <br />says that if he had listened to Bolton, <br />"we would be in World War Six by now." Trump also calls Bolton's <br />upcoming book, "The Room Where <br />It Happened: A White House Memoir," <br />"nasty and untrue." Rumors that Bolton's tell-all <br />book contradicted Trump's claims <br />about Ukraine circulated earlier this week. According to 'The New York Times,' <br />the first draft of Bolton's book <br />alleges that Trump told him he <br />wanted to withhold Ukraine aid until the country <br />agreed to investigate former <br />Vice President Joe Biden. Biden is one of the <br />Democratic frontrunners for <br />the 2020 presidential election. According to CNN, a top National <br />Security Council official issued a <br />letter to Bolton's lawyer addressing <br />"classified information" contained in the book. The letter states that <br />"the manuscript may not be <br />published or otherwise disclosed <br />without the deletion of this classified information." Until Bolton's allegations, <br />Trump's Senate impeachment <br />trial was all but guaranteed to <br />proceed without witnesses being called. But on Tuesday, Senate Majority <br />Leader Mitch McConnell revealed <br />that he did not have the votes to <br />block impeachment trial witnesses.
