Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has also been invited to testify, but his counsel told House committees that he won’t appear without a court ruling
1 / 3 -- House committees investigating President Donald Trump were getting closed-door testimony Thursday from Jennifer Williams, a special adviser for Europe in Vice President Mike Pence’s office.
Chairmen of the three House committees leading the impeachment probe on Wednesday withdrew a subpoena for Bolton’s deputy, Charles Kupperman, saying that they plan to wait for the conclusion of a lawsuit to compel former White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify before Congress in a previous case. Some Republicans in recent weeks have increasingly pushed for the whistle-blower’s identity to be revealed. Others have criticized on that effort, warning that such a step would have a chilling effect on future whistle-blowers.
Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio says that the whistle-blower will be on the GOP list of witnesses to call to appear for the upcoming public hearings. In a transcript of one closed-door interview released Wednesday, Republicans used the name of a person they suspect of being the whistle-blower in attempts to gain confirmation from the witness.
Williams was on the July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and accompanied Pence on a trip to Warsaw two months ago during which he met with Zelenskiy, according to an official familiar with the committee’s activities.
