A spokesperson for former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton denied Monday that he or his publishers coordinated with the New York Times after the newspaper published claims in his upcoming book about President Donald Trump and Ukraine.
“Ambassador John Bolton, Simon & Schuster, and Javelin Literary categorically state that there was absolutely no coordination with the New York Times or anyone else regarding the appearance of information about his book, THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED, at online booksellers. Any assertion to the contrary is unfounded speculation,” Bolton aide Sarah Tinsley said in a statement.
The denial comes after the Times reported that Bolton’s book alleges President Trump sought to make U.S. military aid to Ukraine conditional, in exchange for inquiries into “Democrats.”
******************************** The Times reported:
President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton.
The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office.
Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books.

I just heard Joe DiGenova being interviewed about the “Bolton quotation.” He gave this important information: LTC Vindman’s twin brother is the person to whom the NSC assigned the declassification review of Bolton’s manuscript.
Go to the 2:07:00 mark to begin listening to the interview:

I recommend that Yevgennihy Vindman be investigated as the possible leaker of Bolton’s manuscript.
Who is going to buy his d*** book?
I always thought that Bolton was a good guy, pro Israel, but here we are, he turned into a major schmuck..got something to say John, say it in PUBLIC, dont be a sleaze bag and write some pathetic book hoping to make some money, have a press conference, do a sit down interview with CNN or MSNBC, they would have rolled out the red carpet for the douche bag..bottom line is, Bolton wanted war with Iran, Bolton didnt want Trump to talk to Kim Jung Un, Bolton wanted war with Russia, Trump didnt so he gave him the heave ho
John The Rat Whore.
“The Room Where It Happened? What a come on title, OR maybe referring to the sex acts that took place between Bill and Monica.
This is all The New York times and the Democrats doing.. They made up the story about anonymous sources and put it out after they the left admitted that the Lawyers for Trump blew the Dem managers impeachment story out of the water!! This is only meant to drag this out and make the Republicans do the Hou8ses work for them!!
just reported on fox he said it was not in his book.
Bolton needs to deny the report.
