Trump’s Former National Security Advisor Says He’s OK Now To Testify Before The Senate If Subpoenaed
Interesting that John Bolton issues his pronouncement the Monday after Trump acts in violent aggression against Iran. Something Bolton’s obsessively promoted for decades.
But there’s a lot of “strange” here. Bolton had previously said he wouldn’t testify until courts ruled on a related case about whether it was kosher for the White House to block him and others from testifying to Congress. At the same time, he was soliciting advances for a tell-all book about his time in Trump’s White House. And now Bolton, in a statement, refers specifically to his willingness to testify in front of the Republican-controlled Senate, not the House. But the House dropped efforts to subpoena him during their impeachment hearings because back then he said he wouldn’t testify. And Senate leadership has made it very clear they don’t want any witnesses testifying in their required trial of Trump.
So does this signal that Bolton’s shoved open a window at least a crack to the possibility witnesses will be part of a Senate trial? And at least one who worked very closely with Trump? And help break a stalemate with Democratic leadership in the House on how and when…
