President Donald Trump’s legal team said they don’t think John Bolton, the former national security adviser, should testify during the Senate impeachment trial.

“The fact is that it’s not the job of the Senate to start doing an investigation now that the House didn’t pursue. And the House never even attempted to subpoena John Bolton. So we don’t think that there’s a basis for the Senate going to get testimony at this point,” a source on the legal team told reporters in a phone call on Jan. 28.
