Trump signals White House would try to restrict Bolton testimony
By Brett Samuels - 01/09/20 12:55 PM EST


President Trump indicated Thursday the White House would seek to limit testimony from former national security adviser John Bolton if he were called to testify in a Senate impeachment trial.

Trump reiterated that he would defer to the Senate on whether Bolton would be allowed to testify, but made clear the White House may seek to claim executive privilege to limit what he could say.

"I'd have to ask the lawyers because we do have to — to me, for the future — we have to protect presidential privilege," he continued. "When we start allowing national security advisers to just go up and say whatever they want to say, we can’t do that."

Insane.  John Bolton knows something.  So Republicans want to keep him from testifying.  John Bolton was always highly respected.  Now he is an enemy.

Trump knows that he knows something.  It must be the "perfect" part.

If they stop him from testifying Bolton should do a media interview and spill everything he knows.
