Trump defended Saudi Prince to divert focus from Ivanka’s email controversy, claims Bolton

US President Donald Trump defended Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over assassination of Washington Post columnist Jalam Khashoggi to distract reporters from covering Ivanka Trump’s use of private email account, former National Security viser John Bolton claimed in his new book.

New York Times and Post obtained early copies of Bolton’s new book ' Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir' which gives a comprehensive and substantial account of Trump ministration. According to Simon & Schuster, former NSA has produced a “precise rendering” of his days in and around Oval Office.

“I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” writes Bolton.

In October 2018, Khashoggi was murdered inside Saudi consulate in Istanbul and Central Intelligence ncy reports suggested that Crown Prince ordered killing. However, Trump re an exclamation-mark-filled statement and letting Salman off hook by saying y “may never kw” all facts around Khashoggi’s murder.

“'Our intelligence ncies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that Crown Prince h kwledge of this tragic event - maybe he did and maybe he didn't!' Trump h said.

Similar to Clinton's mail use

Trump’s statement on Crown Prince came immediately after reports of her daughter Ivanka using private email server for discussing White House businesses emerged. Officials confirmed use of private email dress but her lawyers claimed that she sent email before she was briefed in rules.

possible violation of federal records rules was similar to that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email controversy for which Trump vigorously attacked her rival ahe of 2016 presidential elections. Calling Clinton’s actions “illegal”, Trump h said that “scandal” was “bigger than Watergate” and frequently encourd his supporters to chant “lock her up” during campaigns.

After Trump’s statement on Saudi Crown Prince, US President said that it will “divert from Ivanka”, according to Bolton’s new book. “If I re statement in person, that will take over Ivanka thing.”
