Trump Aides Fear John Bolton’s Secret Notes

November 10, 2019 · 7:58 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Jonathan Swan: “John Bolton is the impeachment inquiry’s biggest wildcard. People around the president say they are worried about what notes Trump’s former national security adviser has kept and when he might divulge them.”

“These sources, including both current and former senior administration officials, tell me that the former national security adviser was the most prolific note-taker at the top level of the White House and probably has more details than any impeachment inquiry witness, so far, about President Trump’s machinations on Ukraine.”
