But her testimony offered a gripping account of the rising tensions in the spring and summer of this year between members of Trump's national security council, led by former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and the small group of individuals who Trump directed to run a parallel foreign policy aimed at getting Ukraine to launch investigations that could help Trump politically.
In her testimony, Hill described Bolton's growing frustration with Giuliani's involvement in back channel communications with Ukraine's newly elected government. "Giuliani is a hand grenade that is going to blow everybody up," Hill quoted Bolton as having told her. House investigators have invited Bolton to testify, but his attorney has signaled that Bolton would only do appear if he were to receive a subpoena, and a judge were to subsequently rule that he was required to comply with it.
