Sign the petition re: John Bolton

John Bolton has made shocking new allegations about Donald Trump's conduct in office. Now, he must take the stand to tell the Senate and the American people about what he knows.

Dear MoveOn member,

Donald Trump told John Bolton directly that he wanted to freeze financial aid to Ukraine until officials there helped with an investigation into the Bidens, according to the former national security adviser's explosive new manuscript.¹

This allegation refutes the White House's impeachment defense—and the Senate must allow Bolton to testify about it as part of Trump's impeachment trial.

Add your name to tell the Senate you demand witnesses be able to testify.

John Bolton has made shocking new allegations about Donald Trump's conduct in office. Now, he must take the stand to tell the Senate and the American people about what he knows.

In his new manuscript, Bolton asserts that President Trump said he planned to delay security funding to Ukraine until an investigation into the Bidens was launched. He also reveals new details about how senior cabinet officials—including Attorney General Barr and acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney—were involved in the scandal.²

Add your name to tell your senators: We deserve to hear what John Bolton has to say. Call on him to testify as part of Trump's impeachment investigation.

This is a major clue as to why John Bolton was one of several witnesses that the White House blocked from cooperating with the House's impeachment inquiry. The information he might reveal in his testimony could completely undermine Trump's defense.

And it's possible that Bolton—who allegedly once equated the Ukraine scandal to a "drug deal"—would be a big crack in the dam, leading to more and more administration officials coming forward to tell the truth and avoid going down with Trump.³

Bolton has already stated that he's "prepared to testify" in the impeachment trial. If the Senate blocks a credible, high-level witness like Bolton from taking the stand—this trial will NEVER give the American people real answers or justice.⁴
