In his book, Bolton writes that during the early May meeting, Trump directed him to call newly elected President Zelensky to ensure he'd meet Giuliani, who was planning a trip to Ukraine to discuss the politically motivated investigations that Trump sought.
The previously undisclosed directive from Trump in May that John Bolton describes is the earliest known instance of Trump using the power of the US government to advance his Ukraine extortion scheme –– in the presence of White House counsel Pat Cipollone.
Like Bolton, Lev Parnas, via his lawyer @josephabondy, also says Trump's Ukraine pressure campaign for politically motivated investigations in exchange for US aid began as early as May 2019, and that Trump was directing it.
