Chairman Engel reveals private September call with Bolton, in which he asserts Bolton 'strongly implied that something improper had occurred' surrounding the recall of former Amb. Yovanovitch.
as the Foreign Affairs Committee chairman revealed a September call with Bolton in which the former national security adviser told him to examine the ouster of the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.
"President Trump is wrong that John Bolton didn't say anything about the Trump-Ukraine scandal at the time the President fired him," Engel, D-N.Y., said in a statement."He said something to me." Engel said that he reached out to the former national security adviser on Sept. 19 to ask if he would speak before the Foreign Affairs Committee regarding U.S. foreign policy. Engel said the two then had a call days later, on Sept. 23, when Bolton"suggested to me — unprompted — that the committee look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch."Sign Up
