The Utah senator, a frequent Trump critic, stopped short of saying he would support a motion to subpoena Bolton during the trial
WASHINGTON ― Sen. Mitt Romney says he wants to hear from John Bolton after the former White House national security adviser offered to testify in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial if subpoenaed by the Senate.
Democrats are hoping Bolton’s willingness to come forward with what his lawyer claims is new information about Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine will encourage moderate Republicans to consider expanding the scope and length of the Senate trial.Sen.
Sen. Cory Gardner , another vulnerable Republican up for reelection next year, did not say whether he planned to support a motion to subpoena Bolton. “If 51 senators want to hear from Ambassador Bolton, I think that’s fine. It doesn’t have to be live, it could be a deposition,” Cornyn said, adding that Bolton’s testimony may even help the president’s case against impeachment.
House Democrats decided not to subpoena Bolton while the chamber mulled over whether to draft impeachment articles last year. They reached the decision after the White House declared it wouldn’t cooperate with the hearings and instructed top officials who’d already been subpoenaed not to comply.
