Dear MoveOn member,

Donald Trump told John Bolton directly that he wanted to freeze financial
aid to Ukraine until officials there helped with an investigation into the
Bidens, according to the former national security adviser’s explosive new
manuscript.^1

This allegation refutes the White House’s impeachment defense—and the
Senate must allow Bolton to testify about it as part of Trump’s
impeachment trial.

testify.

John Bolton has made shocking new allegations about Donald Trump's conduct
in office. Now, he must take the stand to tell the Senate and the American
people about what he knows.

In his new manuscript, Bolton asserts that President Trump said he planned
to delay security funding to Ukraine until an investigation into the
Bidens was launched. He also reveals new details about how senior cabinet
officials—including Attorney General Barr and acting Chief of Staff Mick
Mulvaney—were involved in the scandal.^2

Bolton has to say. Call on him to testify as part of Trump’s impeachment
investigation.

This is a major clue as to why John Bolton was one of several witnesses
that the White House blocked from cooperating with the House’s impeachment
inquiry. The information he might reveal in his testimony could completely
undermine Trump’s defense.

And it’s possible that Bolton—who allegedly once equated the Ukraine
scandal to a "drug deal"—would be a big crack in the dam, leading to more
and more administration officials coming forward to tell the truth and
avoid going down with Trump.^3

Bolton has already stated that he’s "prepared to testify" in the
impeachment trial. If the Senate blocks a credible, high-level witness
like Bolton from taking the stand—this trial will NEVER give the American
people real answers or justice.^4
