John Bolton has unleashed on Donald Trump on 7:30, saying he is damaging the relationship with Australia and things will only get worse if he’s re-elected.
John Bolton served as National Security Adviser to the Trump White House for 17 months before leaving in contentious circumstances last September.

But he said the basis for the impeachment was solid. That was that Trump has held up military aid to Ukraine – parts of which had been invaded by forces loyal to Russia – in an attempt to pressure it into announcing an investigation of his opponent in the upcoming election, former vice president Joe Biden.
