Former National Security Advisor John Bolton told a federal judge on Monday that his interests do not align with those of acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
A long-simmering feud within the White House broke into the open on Monday as a lawyer for John R. Bolton, President Trumps former national security adviser, filed a motion trying to keep Mick Mulvaney, the presidents acting chief of staff, from joining a lawsuit over impeachment testimony, New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker reported Monday.
The lawsuit was filed by former Deputy National Security Advisor Charles Kupperman, who asked a judge to decide whether he should abide by a congressional subpoena or obey Trumps edict to stonewall Congress.
Mr. Boltons lawyer argued in court papers that Mr. Mulvaney should not be allowed to jump into the existing lawsuit as a plaintiff because his interests are significantly different, The Times reported. But the legal schism underscored a broader rift between Mr. Mulvaney, who facilitated Mr. Trumps effort to pressure Ukraine for damaging information about Democrats, and Mr. Bolton, who tried to resist it.

It's becoming increasingly clear that Bolton, of all people, knew that the extortion was way over the line. I detest the man and his policies but at least he acts in what he thinks are the country's interests and he doesn't seem to be in it to line his pockets. The important thing is he knows he doesn't want to be anywhere near the "drug deal."
