Bolton says he would consider testifying against Barr

Former national security adviser John Bolton said in an interview Tuesday that he would consider testifying against Attorney General William Barr if House Democrats seek his testimony.
Bolton expressed some reluctance to cooperate with House Democrats, pointing to how they handled the impeachment inquiry into President Trump's contacts with Ukraine. But the veteran diplomat said he'd consult with his lawyers should he be called.
"I'll certainly consider it if and when it comes up and consult with my lawyers and try and do the right thing," Bolton said in a virtual interview with The Washington Post's Robert Costa.
The question is raised as the House Judiciary Committee prepares to subpoena Barr for an investigation centered on the firing of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, who was investigating members of the president’s family and inner circle in the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
