Lighthizer denies Bolton claim that Trump asked Chinese President Xi for reelection helpThe Trump administration's top trade official slammed John Bolton's claim that the president asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping to help him win reelection by purchasing agricultural products, calling it
"absolutely untrue."Asked by Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, whether the story excerpted in a forthcoming tell-all by President Trump's former national security adviser was accurate, United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer denied the allegation.
"There was a meeting in on the outskirts of the G-20, in Osaka between the president and President Xi, and I was in that meeting," Lighthizer said during a Senate hearing Wednesday.
"Absolutely untrue. Never happened," Lighthizer said of the allegation. "I was there. I've no recollection of that ever happening. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe it ever happened."He continued: "I don't want you to think I'm being deceptive. I said what meeting I was at, and this never happened at it. For sure."
