Democrats mull Ted Cruz proposal to trade John Bolton impeachment testimony for Hunter Biden

Some Senate Democrats are considering accepting a proposal first voiced by GOP Sen. Ted Cruz to trade witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial.

Cruz proposed what he called “witness reciprocity” to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was receptive to the idea, last week as a potential means to secure testimony from Hunter Biden. Several Senate Democrats are now considering embracing the proposal in order to get former national security adviser John Bolton to testify in the trial, according to the Washington Post.
