Bolton Will Likely Be Subpoenaed by House to Testify, Jerry Nadler Says
Former national security adviser John Bolton, whom the GOP-controlled Senate declined to summon during President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, will likely be summoned by the House Judiciary Committee to testify, the panel's chairman said Wednesday.
"I think it's likely, yes," Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) told reporters. "When you have a lawless president, you have to bring that to the fore and you have to spotlight that. You have to protect the Constitution, whatever the political consequences."
Bolton is believed to have firsthand knowledge of Trump's dealings with Ukraine, reportedly saying in a forthcoming book that the president withheld military aid as he lobbied the country to conduct investigations into Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, that would benefit his re-election.
Nadler said his panel would want Bolton to discuss not just Ukraine but also the various congressional probes House Democrats have launched against the Trump administration since they regained the chamber's majority last year.
