A top lawyer on the House Intelligence Committee says a decision about whether to subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton will probably be made 'over the next couple of weeks'
A top lawyer on the House Intelligence Committee said Thursday that a decision about whether to subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton will probably be made "over the next couple of weeks."
Democrats, including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff , have been skeptical about seeking Bolton's testimony because he has already refused multiple opportunities to tell his story to investigators and had previously indicated he would fight a House subpoena in court. Bolton did say he would testify during the Senate’s impeachment trial if subpoenaed, but Senate Republicans ultimately decided against calling witnesses.
Some Democrats suggested much more had been left out, noting that the 30-minute duration of the call didn't appear to match up with the length of the transcript. But Goldman suggested that too was unconcerning. "We obviously didn't need that much time if we were speaking to a captive jury that was sitting there, forced to sit there and listened to everything," he said.
"There was no real mechanism as there is in court to limit it so we wanted to get out in front of it and we teed it up through the parliamentarian just to say this might come up, just so he's prepared," Goldman said. "I think he was prepared to respond if that came about. For the most part, I think that there's very little role for the Chief Justice to play in an impeachment trial because the Senate can overrule everything.
