Timothy O'Toole was quoted on allegations made in a new book by former White House official John Bolton tying a Huawei executive's extradition case to a possible U.S. trade deal with China. O'Toole said the allegation that President Trump offered to reverse criminal prosecution of Huawei provided it could assist in a trade deal boosts claims of political involvement in the case. "This adds, I think, almost a direct political component to the equation that I haven't seen there before," O'Toole stated.
