- Former national security adviser John Bolton said Monday that he will testify in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate if he's called to the stand.
- "Since my testimony is once again at issue, I have had to resolve the serious competing issues as best I could, based on careful consideration and study," Bolton said. "I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify."
- The former national security adviser is at the center of a multitude of key events in the impeachment inquiry. He would be the most high-profile witness to testify against Trump to date, and his lawyer suggested Bolton has information that hasn't yet come to light.
- Crucially, Bolton has receipts. He's reportedly prolific note-taker and his documents could prove devastating to a White House swimming through a mountain of evidence Democrats have collected.
