Sen. Mitt Romney says Senate should hear from John Bolton in impeachment trial

Washington • Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday he would like to hear from former National Security Adviser John Bolton about the forthcoming impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, signaling a possible key vote to allow witnesses despite resistance by GOP leaders.

Romney, who previously has said he’d speak out about his thoughts on witnesses at a later date, told reporters Monday that Bolton could be a crucial voice as the Senate considers charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress against Trump.

Asked whether that would include Bolton — who earlier Monday said he would testify if asked — Romney said “of course” he’d like to hear from him.
