Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) declined to comment on whether the House would subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton after the topic came up during an interview Sunday.
CBS’s Margaret Brennan asked Schiff, the head House impeachment manager in President Trump's impeachment trial, if Bolton would be subpoenaed in the lower chamber following the Senate’s likely acquittal of Trump.
“I don't want to comment to this point on what our plans may or may not be with respect to John Bolton,” Schiff said on "Face The Nation."
“But I will say this: whether it's before – in testimony before the House or it's in his book or it's in one form or another, the truth will continue to come out,” he added.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman’s comments come two days after the Senate voted not to include additional witnesses and documentation in the impeachment trial.
He criticized the Justice Department for releasing a court filing including two dozen emails detailing the president’s involvement in withholding aid to Ukraine after the vote Friday.
"That shows you the lengths to which the President's lawyers are going to cover this up," he said, adding: "but they're going to fail. Indeed, they've failed already."
Last week, The New York Times revealed a section of Bolton’s manuscript stated that Trump had been directly involved in withholding the aid until the country agreed to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his family.
Before that, the president’s legal team had been arguing in the impeachment trial that Trump did not directly say to hold back the aid. Democrats pushed for senators to support Bolton testimony during the trial but were unsuccessful.
The impeachment trial is expected to end this week with Trump’s acquittal, but the House would still have the ability to subpoena Bolton.
Let the Democrats call him. Nothing is stopping them in the House from finding out the truth.
If that’s really their concern.
Count on it, dooshbag.

Yeah and that’s gonna help them a lot at election time.
Let them keep killing themselves.
... “but they’re going to fail. Indeed, they’ve failed already.”...
It must be great to live in your own reality inside your own head :)
What can Bolton tell them they don’t already know? Geez.
TRUMP colluded with the ROOSKIES!"
"And he still gets TWO scoops of Ice Cream!"
New lies?
Because Bolton is likely not hip to the idea anymore. Bad things have been brought out and you can be sure that there can be more.
Cover up has now replaced collusion.
Does Schittforbrains know that (1) Trump will be acquitted and (2) Schitt going after Trump again with Bolton’s ”testimony” is unconstitutional DOUBLE JEOPARDY? Is he really that stupid and deranged?
Chinese water torture is like that and whatever else the NYT may be sitting on, we’ll find out soon enough.
Let em. Bolton can go out and give away all he wants. So much in fact no one will buy the book.

“Schiffty and the Rats aren’t going away, they’re going to keep lying about POTUS until the election and after he’s reelected. “
That’s why we need scorched earth retribution
The NYT is full of lots of hot air. The good guys got lots of bad stuff on bad people and its soon their turn to shoot back.
Impeachment and removal is not a crime, so double jeopardy does not apply.
Bump!
Maybe they should have the vote on Monday before the dems talk to Bolton, unstead of waiting until Wed.
They can impeach him again but they’d need to follow the Rodino rule.
A partisan impeachment is Democrats banging their heads on a stone wall.
And not for nothing, it becomes pretty obvious that the President can delay aid....otherwise it couldn't have happened.
