Trump directly asked China’s Xi to buy agricultural products to help him win farm states in 2020, Bolton writes. Trump was “pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win. He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome.”

Trump talked about intervening in criminal cases like ZTE and Halkbank "to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked," Bolton writes. "The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn’t accept."

Bolton confirms previous @maggieNYT @nytmike report on Trump linking security aid for Ukraine to his desire for investigations into Democrats. But he says Democrats should have looked at the Halkbank and ZTE matters, among others, to build a broader case.

I think the Comey rule was called the "Chickenshyt Club", if you are a prosecutor who never lost a case, you are in the chickenshyt club. I read that book in 2018. I thought it was pretty impressive.

In 2018, Trump came under fire for writing an unfettered defense of Mohammed bin Salman over the killing of Jamaal Khashoggi.

According to Bolton, the main goal of the defense was to take away attention from a story about Ivanka using her personal email for government business.

Hakeem Jeffries, an impeachment manager, on John Bolton: “It's curious to me that now he has something to say when he could have stepped forward as a patriot when the stakes were high and the President was on trial - and he ran and hid in the other direction,” per @alizaslav
