Trump asked Xi Jinping for election help, John Bolton claims

Newsday

Available for over a year

President Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, turns on the president in his forthcoming book: did Donald Trump turn to China to help secure his re-election?; the coronavirus pandemic has triggered a whole host of problems - not least a rise in domestic violence. We talk the UN official whose job it is to tackle the problem; and we remember the day that General de Gaulle spoke to the French nation from the BBC.
