Democrats' only hope to hear from the former national security adviser could be through his forthcoming book's manuscript.
A new proposal gaining steam among Senate Republicans could be Democrats' only chance of hearing from John Bolton during the impeachment trial: seeing the manuscript of the former national security adviser's forthcoming book.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said he would"totally support" viewing the manuscript, and several other Republicans members have given similar signals.Sens. Mike Crapo and Mike Rounds said they would like to see the manuscript but did not say they would definitively support a vote on compelling its availability.
"I don't think it ends there, that's my problem," Cramer elaborated."When you open the door a little bit, you will never satiate the appetite that House managers have for witnesses." "What an absurd proposal. It's a book!" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters at a press conference."There's no need for it to be read in [a classified setting] unless you want to hide something. To what extent are our Republican colleagues going to twist themselves in an entire pretzel to avoid the truth?" the New York Democrat asked.
