Everybody. It is june 18th, and im yasmin vossoughian. Were going to begin with some of those explosive allegations in john boltons new tellall book about his time inside of the trump white house. Among the stunning headlines from the normal National Security adviser, bolton says the president asked chinese president xi jinping for reelection help. He says in a 2018 meeting with then british Prime Minister theresa may, President Trump had no idea uk was a nuclear power, and when it comes to the house impeachment inquiry, bolton says President Trump should have been questioned about ukraine but other troubling episodes as well.

A strong response from Benjamin Netanyahus government. Denying on the spies from the u. S. Or otherwise. That pointed out the strong intelligence between the two countries. Something we have seen president obama and Benjamin Netanyahu point out. At the same time it is apparent that Benjamin Netanyahu believes he has information about the deals. Over the last few weeks, we heard his government say from our understanding of the deal. That doesnt come from a guess, but information. What we are seeing now is a shift in how netanyahus government wants to use that information. They have not had any luck in influencing president ob
