Former National Security Adviser John Bolton doubles down on Trump obstruction claims amid bipartisan backlash.
Speaking with CNN's"State of the Union," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said his committee has no interest in calling Bolton to testify, adding that he believes Trump"has done a lot of impeachable things, including what Bolton is talking about."
On NBC's"Meet the Press," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said Bolton's allegations are not surprising, adding that Bolton"indicts himself, for cowardice and for greed" and that it"was only the greed that made him come forward in this book." Republicans also took issue with Bolton's book. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., told"This Week" that he wished Bolton"would have come into the House under oath and testified."
