Bolton claims that
Trump (or most likely his lawyers) doesn't deny the fact that he said that. Rather, he denies the fact that he said it to Bolton.
...he heard Trump say explicitly that the withholding of military aid would continue until Ukraine announced an investigation involving the Bidens - implicating Trump directly in a quid pro quo for the first time and contradicting the Trump team's defense.

I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens.

ну вроде, "а докажите что это российские войска помогали захватывать власть в Крыму. Это просто вежливые люди. Форма из военторга. а разве на ней написано что они из россии? У вас есть доказтельства, что они называли себя российскими военными? Если нет надписи на форме и не вам лично под присягой, и под запись на 10 рекордеров и видеокамер не говорили, значит вы не можете нам нчиего доказать, и у вас нет оснований считать, что это российские солдаты" итд.
