House schedules Bolton deposition as part of impeachment inquiry
By Olivia Beavers - 10/30/19 04:01 PM EDT
House investigators on Wednesday scheduled former national security adviser John Bolton for a deposition next week as part of Democrats' impeachment inquiry, in what could be key testimony on President Trump's contacts with Ukraine.
The closed-door deposition was noticed on Nov. 7, according to a source familiar with the impeachment proceedings.
A lawyer for Bolton did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether his client intends to testify, and it is unclear whether Democrats have subpoenaed Bolton.
But amid the Democrats’ investigation into Trump’s controversial dealings with Ukraine, they now see the military hawk as a potential star witness — one whose intimate knowledge of the Ukraine affair could expose more evidence of wrongdoing by the president.
