Former national security adviser John Bolton may participate in a closed-door testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry.
According to a report from CNN, Bolton is in talks to be deposed on his knowledge of President Trump’s relationship with Ukraine and the alleged pressure he placed on Ukrainian leaders to investigate Joe Biden. His lawyers have reportedly spoken with the three House committees leading the impeachment inquiry.
Last week, Trump’s former Russia adviser Fiona Hill reportedly claimed that Bolton had urged her to report any “wrongdoing” in the White House to the National Security Council’s attorney, prompting House Democrats to want more information from Bolton.
Bolton, who left the White House on bad terms, reportedly called Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani a “hand grenade” who could “blow everybody up.”
Although Bolton may be considering a deposition, several other Trump administration officials have said they will not participate, including Vice President Mike Pence.
