Former national security adviser Susan Rice did not mince words in telling her former Trump administration counterpart John Bolton what she would have done about testifying as part of the impeachment process
"I thought a lot about if I had been in that position how would I have approached it, and I'll be honest: It's inconceivable to me that if I had firsthand knowledge of gross abuse of presidential power that I would withhold my testimony from a constitutional accountability process," said Rice, who served in the Obama administration, Wednesday while sitting next to Bolton at an event at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
"That, to me, makes it even more difficult, as a former national security adviser, not being willing to come forward," Rice said."I would feel like I was shamefully violating the oath that I took to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic."In response, Bolton downplayed the impact his testimony would have made on the outcome of the impeachment trial.
