The US Senate must allow witnesses to give testimony at the Senate Impeachment Hearing.

No one knows what Former Ambassador Bolton will say in his testimony, but, the country has a right to hear it. This impeachment is based on lawlessness by Donald J.

The House sought his testimony but ultimately never subpoenaed Bolton, and Democrats withdrew their subpoena for his former deputy after it was challenged in court, as Democrats wanted to move forward with their impeachment probe and not wait for the court's decision....
