Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) on Tuesday called for former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify before a House committee.

Earlier this week, Bolton said in a statement that he would be willing to speak to Senate investigators if he was subpoenaed.

But Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida has asserted that Bolton should not be allowed to testify before the Senate because he was not subpoenaed by the House during the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

“Now that John Bolton has said that he is open to testifying in the Senate, there’s no argument for why he shouldn’t testify from the House,” Khanna told MSNBC on Wednesday. “And it would help counter Rubio’s argument that we can’t consider [Bolton’s] testimony if the House doesn’t consider it.”

6. I hope what he's saying is true and Chairman Schiff is keeping the cards

...close to his breast.

7. Schiff and Pelosi both are very intelligent and have the best Constitutional

Scholars and all manner of experts advising them. I am happy it's in the hands.😊

14. You think you're confused?

My glaucoma had me read it that Mo Rocca had subpoena powers. What the hell coma have I been in?

15. LoL😂

8. McConnell's intransigence has increased the odds that Trump will be impeached twice

Pelosi is still in the driver’s seat, and I fantasize about investigations continuing through the spring, with additional articles voted on in, say, June, just before the convention.

Unless, of course, McConnell caves and revises the senate rules before then.

9. Once McConnell has his vote, I'm guessing Chairman Schiff will fire a subpoena at Bolton

[crickets]

11. Good. Call the bluffs on all of them. nt

[BlueIdaho]

13. If Bolton refuses the House subpoena

We know he’s been turned.
