Ambassador Bolton ‘a key figure’ in Trump impeachment trial

The US Studies Centre's James Brown says “Ambassador John Bolton is a key figure and somebody who has reportedly described what has happened with Trump’s dealing on Ukraine as a drug deal”. Mr Brown told Sky News “the thing about John Bolton is he is a lifelong Republican, so there is no way he can be accused of partisan bias on this and the Democrats are keen to get him to testify”. “The line the Republicans are running here is this impeachment trial is election interference, that the Democrats are trying to take the president off the ballot,” he said. “I think it would be significant if ambassador Bolton spoke in this trial, and of course it opens the door for other witnesses to be called. “To have the national security advisor testifying he did not think the president was doing the right thing on this deal with the Ukraine, would be very significant for the president’s impeachment.” Image: Getty Via news.com.au — Australia’s #1 news site https://www.news.com.au
