John Bolton urged to elaborate on Trump-ErdoÄŸan claims
New book claims US president agreed to intervene in federal investigation into Turkish bank

The former US national security adviser John Bolton is facing calls to elaborate on a claim in his new book that Donald Trump agreed to help Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan by intervening in a federal investigation into a Turkish state-owned bank.

In excerpts of the memoir seen by US media, Bolton said Trump appeared to “give personal favours to dictators he liked”, and claimed that during a 2018 phone call Erdoğan sent Trump a memo insisting that the scandal-hit Halkbank was innocent.

“Trump then told Erdoğan he would take care of things, explaining that the [New York] southern district prosecutors were not his people but were Obama people, a problem that would be fixed when they were replaced by his people,” Bolton wrote. Erdoğan continued to lobby on behalf of Halkbank during phone calls and in-person conversations throughout 2018 and 2019, he said.

This is the big one.

He's a slippery one. Let's hope you're right Surt.

Lol yeah I doubt it too.

I absolutely want Trump gone, but at this point, the only thing will be the vote him out. I'm not expecting anything else.
