Trump’s ‘Drug Deal’: Key Witness Pressed For Cashing In On Book | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Pres. Trump's former National Security Adviser, Amb. John Bolton, discusses if Trump's taxes and debts impact his foreign policy decisions and the DOJ probe of his new book. Bolton also responds to criticism from an array of government officials and commentators that he withheld impeachment testimony to save it for his book. MSNBC’s Ari Melber presses him on the issue, and fact-checks Bolton's claim that he delayed speaking out because the Executive Branch opposed it – when in fact, Bolton ultimately published the book while the Executive Branch still opposed its release. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 09/30/2020.

    1. @Sun dial – I think it is hilarious that when tRump was saying that the world is laughing at us when Obama was President, you people ran with that until cult leader was elected. Now, the world really is laughing at us and you people say “So what? Who need the rest of the world?” Pretty lame, don’t ya think?

    2. @ra5928
      Nope, you lost your soul to the demon for all the quality u lack without even a challenge.
      You’re brimstone casket bait

  1. Daily Reminder: Trump called Corona Virus a Democrat Hoax that will “magically” disappear.
    P.S.
    I pay more federal taxes than Donald Trump.

    1. @vote red Trump 2020 you should tell that to the racists in the south, most on government assistance and ALL in need of dentures, actually Biden’s teeth are real, do your homework.

    2. @jason rodgers
      I’ll bury you in your foundation of lies, serpent pigeon, 24/7
      Im one of Gods angels and oversight to serpent demon people bearing false witness online. I fish for demon people online and you’re flapping in my bucket, flyboy..

    3. @jason rodgers
      You cant even get around Michelle Obamas 10 inch chalupa because you’re a record breaking ridiculous embarrassment..
      You are Bozos sandbox
      Complete

  2. That dollar patriot has the gall to show up on tv and talk about other people? Disgusting. How much was the dollar patriot paid for his appearance?

  3. He said that he’s not going to vote for Joe Biden, but yet he doesn’t want Trump to be president, how stupid is that not voting for Biden is a vote for Donald Trump

    1. Cinnamon Girl Agreed! Bolton is dangerous indeed! Let’s just say, he isn’t much better than Trump, because they are cut from the same cloth. The one difference is that, Bolton in a covert narcissist. Ghastly characters, really!

    1. I wonder the same thing, just like the reporters who get based and lied to by trump at every briefing. I think if the media would boycott and do a “media blackout” on all things trump it would really hit him hard

    2. @jason rodgers My opinion too. When John McCain AND Aretha Franklin died in the same time span, and were both being Eulogized, this clown commented that, “maybe I have to die to get a little news coverage’. It would absolutely EAT HIS SOUL-LESS CARCAS TO BE IGNORED.

  4. Last night trump threatened every honest American in this country. I am a 24 year army veteran. Trump is a traitor to democracy

    1. I’m voting 🗳 for the one who’s pays their taxes EVERY year just as I DO. BIDEN 🎊2020. Court records show that TRUMP and or some members of TRUMP Family Used/MisUsed money 💵from their Own SO-CALL CHARITY 🚨How can you trust🤬⚠️https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ 😪😪😪

    2. Traitors get hung
      Lots of suitable trees on the white house lawn
      He should get the same amount of due process as George floyd

  5. Bolton is a fake who is only trying to sale a book. He would be back in the white house like the rest of them lining his pockets if he could.

    1. Yeah, I agree. He’s not different than he was before…he just doesn’t like Trump. Otherwise, he’d still be trying to bomb half the planet. Bolton, if Trump were to have been impeached, would have BEGGED Pence to be back in the White House.

      If he knew all this, and just sat on it, well…that actually kinda makes him worse.

    1. Argh, let’s all be wide-eyed about the enemies of our enemy. John Bolton is not our friend. He’s not a friend to America or to humanity.

  6. The room where it happened was the House of Representatives. Unfortunately John Bolton refused to provide testimony which brought us to the mess we’re in

    1. The next debate moderator needs a mute button and a couple of men in white coats lurking menacingly in the background, with syringes prominently displayed.

  7. Sorry, John Bolton, too little, too late. You are no patriot. And a write in vote is a vote for Trump. Your hypocrisy is glaring.

  8. John Bolton should of testified, he didn’t and sold a book. .Bolton is a greedy coward. .Because Bolton knew full well the Senate wouldn’t call him or anyone! !

    1. All of the Republicans just fell right in line and stayed right under trump’s control. It seems to be their natural place.

  9. The pathetic story of John Bolton: – Begs for WH job – Pushes for endless wars (Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq) – Trump refused – Gets fired – Immediately sells cry-baby book about getting fired – Leaks book to NYT to boost sales – Contents of book *never* happened – Only swamp cares
