One down, three to go: Mitt Romney said he would vote in favor of John Bolton's testimony in the Senate Impeachment Trial:
that if he were to be subpoenaed, he would testify in the Senate Impeachment Trial. Bolton has not stated what his testimony would concern, but he was witness to several of the president’s matters with Ukraine during his stint as advisor. Trump has alreadythat he will use his “executive privilege” to block Bolton’s testimony in an attempt to “protect presidential privilege,” showcasing his fundamental misunderstanding of executive privilege.
An issuing of a subpoena for Bolton’s testimony would require 51 votes from the Senate. With 47 Democrats currently filling seats and Romney’s pledged vote, that means three more Republicans need to turn to join the Democrats in their votes. Republican senators Susan Collins of Maine and John Cornynthey may be willing to hear Bolton out, but no conclusive evidence has been shown to convince us of their stance.
