Bolton did not testify during the impeachment investigation of the House, despite hinting that he had damning testimony about the president at the time.
In an interview with “The View” host, the former Trump official said he disagreed with the way the impeachment investigation was conducted, adding that he had no obligation to testify at the time.
“I felt very strong and continue to make the way the recall process was conducted unnecessarily partisan and doomed to failure. I did not go to the same drummer as the leadership of the Democratic House and I am not obliged to do so, “he added.
In the book, Bolton also criticizes the leadership of the House of Representatives for his handling of the recall, calling his attention to withholding aid to Ukraine too narrow and rushed.
“My point of view was that if you were going to get this information out, it had to be done the right way, and I think the way they proceeded would have guaranteed a lot of what I said in the book would have simply been ignored.” “
