Trump asked China's President to help him win 2020 election, Bolton claims in excerpt of new book
By Zachary Cohen, Jeremy Herb and Jennifer Hansler, CNN
Updated 4:57 PM ET, Wed June 17, 2020
Washington (CNN)Former national security adviser John Bolton has leveled a stunning accusation against his former boss, claiming in his new book that President Donald Trump personally asked his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to help him win the 2020 US presidential election, according to an excerpt published by the Wall Street Journal Wednesday.
One notable interaction described by Bolton was a meeting between the two leaders at the G-20 Summit in Osaka last June, where the US President "stunningly" turned the conversation to the upcoming 2020 election.
The former national security adviser said Trump "stressed the importance of farmers and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome," adding that he "would print Trump's exact words, but the government's prepublication review process has decided otherwise."
Bolton said the conversation turned back to the trade deal, and Trump "proposed that for the remaining $350 billion of trade imbalances (by Trump's arithmetic), the US would not impose tariffs, but he again returned to importuning Xi to buy as many American farm products as China could."
Bolton accuses Trump of lying ahead of book publication
The allegation that Trump asked the leader of a major US adversary to help him win the next election will reverberate across Washington six months after Trump was impeached on charges he sought help from Ukraine with his reelection bid. Trump openly asked China to investigate his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden last year, and has refused to accept the conclusion of US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to try to help him win.
The claims come as the Trump campaign has tried to make China a central issue of the 2020 election, framing the President as tougher on Beijing than Biden.
The revelation was just one of several that emerged Wednesday from Bolton's book, titled "In the Room Where it Happened," which has been subject to a months-long legal battle between the White House and the former national security adviser. The fight escalated Tuesday after the Trump administration went to court to try to claw back Bolton's earnings for the book and to potentially stop its publication, arguing in a lawsuit that Bolton had breached non-disclosure agreements and was risking national security by exposing classified information.
But the White House's legal action has done little to stop details from Bolton's book from becoming public as The New York Times and other media outlets revealed Wednesday that they obtained advanced copies. It's scheduled for official release next week.
According to the excerpt published in the Journal, after Xi proved amenable to reopening trade discussions, Bolton claimed Trump extolled the Chinese leader as the greatest in that country's history.
Broadly speaking, Bolton characterized Trump's interactions with Xi as "adlibbed," bolstered by personal flattery and driven by political ambition rather than policy.
"Trump's conversations with Xi reflected not only the incoherence in his trade policy but also the confluence in Trump's mind of his own political interests and US national interests," Bolton wrote in the excerpt. "Trump commingled the personal and the national not just on trade questions but across the whole field of national security. I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my White House tenure that wasn't driven by reelection calculations."
Trump signs Uyghur human rights bill on same day Bolton alleges he told Xi to proceed with detention camps
Bolton described a litany of China-related matters where Trump subverted the US position based on conversations or gestures for Xi -- tariffs, telecommunications, Hong Kong protests, even China's mass detention of Uyghur Muslims.
"At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," Bolton writes. "The National Security Council's top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China."
The US State Department estimates that more than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained by the Chinese government in internment camps, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor, and death." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Beijing's treatment of the Uyghurs "the stain of the century."
On the massive pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong last year, Bolton claimed that Trump said he didn't "want to get involved," and, "we have human-rights problems too." In recent weeks, Trump has announced actions against China for its moves against Hong Kong's autonomy.
New York Times: Bolton says impeachment probe should have investigated Trump's actions beyond Ukraine
Trump's interactions with Xi are not the only examples of actions by the President that Bolton claims were troubling and should have been investigated as part of the House impeachment inquiry, which only focused on matters related to Ukraine, according to the excerpt and the New York Times, which obtained a copy of the book in advance of its scheduled publication.
Specifically, Bolton highlights Trump's willingness to intervene in criminal investigations "to, in effect, give personal favors to dictators he liked," noting cases involving law firms in China and Turkey, the Times said. "The pattern looked like obstruction of justice as a way of life, which we couldn't accept," Bolton writes, according to the Times.
Bolton's accusation that the House's impeachment inquiry didn't go far enough come after he refused to testify before House impeachment investigators last year, threatening a legal battle if he was subpoenaed. Bolton offered to testify during the Senate impeachment trial, but Republicans voted to reject hearing from any witnesses.
Bolton's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, titled "The Scandal of Trump's China Policy," paints his former boss as a US President who is overly susceptible to flattery and an administration that "struggled to avoid being sucked into the black hole of U.S.-China trade issues."
The book excerpt was published after the Justice Department filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday, alleging that Bolton's 500-plus page manuscript was "rife with classified information." Prosecutors said that Bolton backed out of an ongoing White House vetting process for the book that he'd been obligated to do as a result of the agreements.
"(Bolton) struck a bargain with the United States as a condition of his employment in one of the most sensitive and important national security positions in the United States Government and now wants to renege on that bargain by unilaterally deciding that the prepublication review process is complete and deciding for himself whether classified information should be made public," prosecutors write.
The legal approach in the case is one of the more extreme attempts in recent years to stop a former Trump adviser from recounting his experience, and the administration's longshot attempt to stop the book's publication raises major First Amendment implications.

中美关系：新书披露特朗普曾请求习近平助其连任
图片版权EPA
美国前国家安全顾问博尔顿在新书中披露，美国总统特朗普与中国国家主席习近平的互动，称特朗普曾请求对方帮助其连任总统。
博尔顿（John Bolton）周三（17日）在《华尔街日报》上发表其新书《事发之室：白宫回忆录》中涉及中国的一部分，披露特朗普与习近平在中美贸易谈判过程中的大量互动，批评特朗普对华贸易政策“混乱”。
特朗普“恳求”习近平协助其连任
2019年6月29日，习近平与特朗普在日本大阪会面时，特朗普将话题从经贸转到美国2020年总统大选，恳求习保障他能连任。
博尔顿称，特朗普当时称赞习近平是“300年来最伟大的中国领袖”，几分钟后更将溢美之词升级为“中国历史上最伟大的领袖”。
当时，中美贸易谈判停摆，美国指责中国言而无信，背弃了多项结构性改革的承诺。两国希望通过最高领导人的会谈让谈判重回正轨。
在会谈之前，习近平与特朗普曾通话。博尔顿写道，特朗普对习近平说“想念”对方，并称与中国的贸易谈判，对他颇具政治意义，是他参与过“最受人欢迎的事”。
大阪会谈时，习近平提到一些美国政治人物错判时势，鼓吹对华冷战。他并未提及具体人名，博尔顿称，“特朗普马上认定习说的是民主党人，并赞同地说民主党人怀有许多敌意。”据博尔顿称，特朗普随即将话题转往大选，请求习近平助其连任一臂之力。
新书未出版已掀争议
博尔顿的新书长达592页，被认为是出自特朗普政府前高官之手、最具爆炸性、批判性和实质性的白宫回忆录。
图片版权GETTY IMAGES
博尔顿在2018年4月至2019年9月担任国安顾问。立场鹰派的博尔顿在涉及中国、朝鲜、伊朗、俄罗斯等外交政策态度更为强硬，两人逐渐产生严重分歧。最终，特朗普称他开除了博尔顿，后者则表示自己早前提出了辞职。
根据《华盛顿邮报》报道，博尔顿在书中形容特朗普是“古怪反常”与“惊人地愚昧”的总统，并细数两人之间的长期角力，以及特朗普与其他资深幕僚和外国元首的互动。
白宫反对博尔顿新书发表，称内容含有大量危害国家的敏感机密信息。美国司法部在周二（16日）对博尔顿提起民事诉讼，指书中一些保密信息达到绝密级别。特朗普也警告，博尔顿新书泄密，违法出版的话，他将要承担刑事责任。
出版商西蒙-舒斯特联合出版社则称，这是一本特朗普“不想让你们读到的书”。

Trump signs Uyghur human rights bill on same day Bolton alleges he told Xi to proceed with detention camps
https://www.cnn.com/profiles/kevin-liptak-profile
By Kevin Liptak, CNN
Updated 7:05 PM ET, Wed June 17, 2020
(CNN)President Donald Trump has signed a bill that aims to punish China for its human rights abuses against the Uyghur Muslim population on the same day his former national security adviser claimed Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping he should proceed in building detainment camps for the group.
A White House spokesman said Trump signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 on Wednesday.
In an excerpt of his forthcoming book published by The Wall Street Journal, John Bolton wrote Trump discussed the detention camps built by the Chinese government for Uyghurs in western China during a dinner at the G20 last year.
"With only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," Bolton writes. "The National Security Council's top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China."
Trump asked China's President to help him win 2020 election, Bolton claims in excerpt of new book
The US State Department estimates that more than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained by the Chinese government in internment camps, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor and death."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called Beijing's actions in Xinjiang "the stain of the century."
The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate. The legislation condemns the Chinese Communist Party for the detention centers and recommends a tougher response to the human rights abuses suffered by Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs and other Muslim minorities in the region.
Under the legislation, the President would have 180 days to submit a report to Congress identifying Chinese officials and any other individuals who are responsible for carrying out torture; prolonged detention without charges and a trial; abduction; cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment of Muslim minority groups; and other flagrant denials of the "right to life, liberty, or the security" of people in Xinjiang.
The individuals identified in the report would then be subject to sanctions, including asset blocking, visa revocation, and ineligibility for entry into the United States. The legislation gives Trump room to opt against imposing sanctions on the officials if he determines and certifies to Congress that holding back on sanctions is in the national interest of the United States.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called Beijing's actions in Xinjiang "the stain of the century."
The Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020 passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate. The legislation condemns the Chinese Communist Party for the detention centers and recommends a tougher response to the human rights abuses suffered by Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs and other Muslim minorities in the region.
Under the legislation, the President would have 180 days to submit a report to Congress identifying Chinese officials and any other individuals who are responsible for carrying out torture; prolonged detention without charges and a trial; abduction; cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment of Muslim minority groups; and other flagrant denials of the "right to life, liberty, or the security" of people in Xinjiang.
The individuals identified in the report would then be subject to sanctions, including asset blocking, visa revocation, and ineligibility for entry into the United States. The legislation gives Trump room to opt against imposing sanctions on the officials if he determines and certifies to Congress that holding back on sanctions is in the national interest of the United States.
