Trump Tweeted the lie that the House never even asked Bolton to testify.
Adam Schiff pointed out that they asked Bolton to testify and he said no.
And his lawyer said that if they subpoenaed him, he would sue, just like his deputy Kupperman did, and Don McGahn did.
Schiff also pointed out that while Sniffles' lawyers are saying that the Committee should have gone through the courts, this is what his DOJ is arguing in court in the McGahn case, which has been dragging on for over 9 months now.
So Trump's lawyers argued this week in the impeachment trial that the House should have fought harder in the courts to enforce their subpoenas and the Senate shouldn't condone their negligence by bringing in new witnesses.
But what they don't tell you is that the DOJ is arguing in court that the House doesn't have any legal grounds to bring lawsuits to enforce subpoenas.
