WASHINGTON, DC—Former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s potential testimony in the Trump impeachment trial is like a gun in a Chekov play. Outside the Senate chamber, Bolton was the main topic — and how could he not be? Meanwhile, the key drama in the trial so far has been about whether any further testimony (especially from Bolton) was required. Mitt Romney, one of the Republicans who had previously said he’d be open to hearing from Bolton and other witnesses, said early on that it was “increasingly likely” that enough Republicans would vote with Democrats to hear testimony from Bolton. “I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens,” the president tweeted.
