STATEMENT OF JOHN R. BOLTON
During the present impeachment controversy, I have tried to meet my obligations both as a citizen and as former National Security Advisor. My colleague, Dr. Charles Kupperman, faced with a House committee subpoena on the one hand, and a Presidential directive not to testify on the other, sought final resolution of this Constitutional conflict from the Federal judiciary. After my counsel informed the House committee that I too would seek judicial resolution of these Constitutional issues, the committee chose not to subpoena me. Nevertheless, I publicly resolved to be guided by the outcome of Dr. Kupperman’s case.
But both the President and the House of Representatives opposed his effort on jurisdictional grounds, and each other on the merits. The House committee went so far as to withdraw its subpoena to Dr. Kupperman in a deliberate attempt to moot the case and deprive the court of jurisdiction. Judge Richard Leon, in a carefully reasoned opinion on December 30, held Dr. Kupperman’s case to be moot, and therefore did not reach the separation-of-powers issues.
The House has concluded its Constitutional responsibility by adopting Articles of Impeachment related to the Ukraine matter. It now falls to the Senate to fulfill its Constitutional obligation to try impeachments, and it does not appear possible that a final judicial resolution of the still-unanswered Constitutional questions can be obtained before the Senate acts.
Accordingly, 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. I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify.

2019/12/09 - But as much as historical legacy clearly matters to this president and all presidents, a flawed legacy was probably guaranteed for Trump long ago. As it stands now, the future negatives seem like a small price to pay compared ...
Trump總統爽。自有人收拾殘局：

前白宮國安顧問波頓6日投下震撼彈，表明若參院傳喚，願意出席聽證會。由於參院共和黨領袖麥康奈爾無意傳喚證人，波頓此舉形同協助民主黨施壓。另外，共和黨參議員計畫修改議事規則，想以簡單多數擋下眾議院通過的彈劾條款。
民主黨要求傳喚證人 波頓是關鍵
「基於我出席作證再次成為議題，經過仔細考量和了解，我盡可能解決此一嚴肅議題」，波頓（John Bolton）發布聲明稱，「我的決定是，倘若參院傳喚我作證，我準備好了」。參院民主黨領袖舒默（Chuck Schumer）2019年12月15日曾致函麥康奈爾（Mitch McConnell），表明希望參院審議彈劾案時，能夠傳喚至少4名證人，其中包括波頓。

波頓2019年9月10日突遭川普開革，而出席眾院聽證會的官員均指出，波頓強烈反對施壓烏克蘭，調查川普在2020年總統大選的可能對手拜登（Joe Biden），甚至形容此行為有如「毒品交易」。施壓烏克蘭行動是由川普私人律師朱利安尼（Rudy Giuliani）主導，藉由延後提供3億9100萬美元軍援，施壓烏克蘭協助調查拜登父子是否涉貪。

另外，曾任波頓副手的卡波曼（Charles Kupperman）先前被眾院情報委員會傳喚聽證，但川普指示不要理會。對此卡波曼2019年10月向法院提出訴訟，希望由法院化解此衝突要求，不過眾院情報委員會在華府聯邦法院開始審理前，就撤回傳喚卡波曼，而委員會與白宮也要求審理此案的法官李昂（Judge Richard Leon）駁回卡波曼的訟訴，李昂2019年12月30日同意
