Romney, Collins say Bolton claims strengthen case for witnesses in impeachment trial
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said Monday it is more likely other Republicans will vote to hear witness testimony from former National Security Adviser John Bolton as part of impeachment proceedings following reports on new allegations in his forthcoming book -- as Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, added that the reports strengthened "the case for witnesses."
During a press gaggle in the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building, Romney said he thought Bolton's relevance to the impeachment trial was "apparent" in the wake of a New York Times report that his book claims President Trump connected frozen aid to Ukraine to investigations into the family of 2020 rival Joe Biden.
"I think it's increasingly likely that other Republicans will ... join those of us who think we should hear from John Bolton and whether there are other witnesses and documents," he said. "I think it’s important to hear from John Bolton for us to make an impartial judgment."
Trump, meanwhile, denied the Bolton claims and told reporters Monday that they are “false.”
