President Donald Trump denied Friday a new report that he instructed his then-national security adviser John Bolton to get directly involved in a secret plot to pressure Ukraine's president for personal political gain., quoting from an as-yet-unpublished book by Bolton, Trump ordered his advisor to set up a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his own private lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
The previously unreported order was delivered in May 2019, two months before the July phone call Trump made to Zelensky, asking him for a"favour," that triggered impeachment in Congress for alleged abuse of power. The purpose of the meeting, according to Bolton, was for Giuliani to pressure Zelensky to help Trump in digging up dirt on one of his main Democratic opponents ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden. Bolton never carried out Trump's order, according to the Times account.
