Congress will be on a weeklong break, but the committees and staff conducting the investigation will continue interviewing a number of important witnesses, making next week a crucial phase before public hearings begin.
*Monday is a busy day, with investigators scheduled to talk to Robert Blair, an aide to Mick Mulvaney, the acting chief of staff. Theyre also supposed to talk to John Eisenberg, the top lawyer on the National Security Council, and his deputy, Michael Ellis.
*On Tuesday, a White House budget official, Michael Duffey, is scheduled to testify; on Wednesday, investigators want to talk to T. Ulrich Brechbuhl, a State Department adviser close to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
*On Thursday and this is a big one it could be John Boltons turn. The former national security adviser would be the closest person to President Trump to testify. Multiple witnesses have said he objected to the presidents dealings with Ukraine. But his lawyer said he would not appear voluntarily, and its not clear how he will respond to a subpoena.
