The diplomats and officials who provided testimony about the Trump administration’s dealings with Ukraine are anxious about what lies ahead, and angry with John Bolton for what they see as him “cashing in” on his knowledge, dangling vital national security information in exchange for a lucrative book deal.
Three former officials contrasted their public testimony to the behavior of officials like former national security adviser John Bolton, “who has monetized a national crisis, parlaying critical insider knowledge about the President’s dealings into a multi-million-dollar book deal even as he avoided testifying publicly,” reported CNN.
Bolton is “trying to have it both ways,” said one official, “dangling the fact that he knows details about Trump’s actions that have not yet been revealed.”
The former national security advisor wants to have a continued career in the national-security sector after parting ways with the Trump administration, sources say.
Bolton’s dance earned him ferocious criticism from officials who put their careers on the line in order to testify before the House, CNN reports.
Despite saying that he would be willing to provide testimony for the Senate, Bolton did not provide testimony in the impeachment proceedings. Through an attorney, he resisted a House subpoena, requesting clarification from the courts. The House eventually dropped that subpoena, and Bolton is walking away from the impeachment crisis unscathed.
