Former national security adviser John Bolton is willing to defy the White House and testify in the House impeachment inquiry about his alarm at the Ukraine pressure campaign if a federal court clears the way, according to people familiar with his views.
Bolton could be a powerful witness for Democrats: Top State Department and national security officials have already testified that he was deeply concerned about efforts by Trump and his allies to push Ukraine to open investigations into the president’s political rivals while the Trump administration held up military aid to that country.
The former national security adviser, who abruptly left his post in September, is expected to confirm their statements and describe his conversations with Trump, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry.

> I do not even know why Trump let this snake in. <
Bolton is mad because he wasn’t allowed to start any new wars. Trump had to have known that was going to happen.
Tom Hambuger stated out in MN. He a lying stooge of the DNC not a real reporter. I suspect “his source” is a Democrat Fascist party operative.
Politics. There are a lot of pissed off Democrats that used the Ukraine monetary aid to get their kick backs. Trump threatening their illegal gains.
It is amazing how many people here jump to the most negative conclusion about Bolton even when the source of the info is the fake media. Not much different than the thought process displayed by progressive socialist Dems.
What’s this false grandiose claptrap about “DEFYING” the White House? Go ahead, Bolton. Spill yer guts. Knock yerself out. But if you lie, or twist or varnish the TRUTH, it WILL come back and bite you in the @$$......BIGLY.
Bolton was the one with all the crazy ideas and Trump shut him down and gave him the BOOT
You’re wrong of course, Bolton didn’t show up.
I agree I think this is a bunch of bunk. This story is a plant in order to give people the impression the walls are closing in on Trump.
Wait a sec, all Bolton is saying is he’ll testify if a court orders him to. And the Dems response was to drop him as a witness.
Why, for refusing to show up? The Washington Post is wrong as it typically is.
Falling for this bullshit again?
Fair enough...
I should realize how bad we are gamed by the media.
He is in no way anti-Trump and will be an asset if he gets to testify.
Their end tiff is a big nothing.
Bolton is a good guy.
?I read that Schitt retracted the subpoena for Bolton's aid.
Could be...
We’ll see.
A war ANYWHERE is what he lusts for - even if it's on American soil, bewteen Americans...
First off this report is from the Washington Post which means it is probably false. Second everyone is thinking that Bolton if he testifies, will say something damaging to Trump.
Bolton may not like Trump but he really hates the Democrats and I could see him really stick it to them in an open hearing.
The deep staters slowly crawl out
“Bolton’s lawyer just said there’s no way he will”
That is what I heard on the radio this morning. He is not testifying.
Same here
Wow, Mr. Bolton. Of all times to have a case of Sour Grapes.
Let it go. Let it go! Republicans don’t have to sing from the same hymnal. Give that idea up.
We are tired of sending our young people to fight foreign wars that show no sign of ending. Can you not understand that? It’s not like the old days, where only the USA and Russia had the biggest bombs. Now, many, many countries have that exact same destructive capacity, even Koo-Koo for Coco Puffs Pakistan has Nukes! And not even they have gone ‘hog-wild’ blowing up India, as everyone was expecting them to do.
