MAKING IT UP Donald Trump denies telling John Bolton Ukraine aid --

• https://www.the-sun.com by Aletha Adu

DONALD Trump has denied telling John Bolton that he would only give Ukraine security aid if he was helped with a probe into Joe Biden.

The US President claims Bolton was lying about the aid to promote his book which is set to be released in March.

Bolton, the former national security adviser, left the White House a day before Trump released the Ukraine aid on September 11.

In a drastic turn of events for Trump's impeachment trial, Bolton told lawmakers that he is willing to testify, despite the president's order barring aides from cooperating in the probe.

Trump denied the allegations in a series of tweets early on Monday.

He wrote: "I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens ... If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book."

Trump even said people could look at transcripts of his call and statements by Ukraine President Vlodymyr Zelinskiy that there was no pressure for such investigations to get the aid.
