Trump's Ukraine Scheme Was Too Crazy Even For John Bolton

This was too much, even for John Bolton.
Trump’s former national security adviser makes multiple cameos in Ambassador William Taylor’s bombshell House testimony Tuesday.
And at nearly every point, the notorious hawk comes out swinging against President Trump’s scheme to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless until Kyiv became an active partner in conducting beneficial investigations for the President’s reelection bid.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) told reporters after hearing the testimony that it “confirmed” the need for Bolton to appear before congressional investigators examining whether Trump should be impeached.
In Taylor’s testimony, Bolton first appears at a July 10 meeting at the White House with Ukrainian officials.
Trump was absent but, in Taylor’s telling, U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland linked the topic of “investigations” with a potential meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump.
