Hoyer supports Bolton testimony, says House committee chairs considering it

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday that he would still like to see John Bolton testify in the Democratic-led House – amid revelations about the inter-workings of the Trump administration included in the former national security adviser's tell-all White House memoir. 

"It's a long and torturous process, as you know, and we've been at it for more than a year in some cases," Hoyer said during his regular pen-and-pad briefing with reporters. “The timeline will be up to the committee chairs and I know they're considering it.”

Bolton did not testify as part of the House’s impeachment case against President Trump and he was not issued a subpoena.

Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, argued that Bolton chose book profits "over responsibility" as a U.S. citizen.

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted Bolton for writing a the book and not testifying before the House during impeachment.

Hoyer also told reporters that the Democrats' police reform bill will see a vote on the House floor Thursday along with the Washington, D.C. statehood bill.

Hoyer said Senate Republican opposition to the House Democrats’ policing bill would likely not change the plan for a Thursday vote on the legislation.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) released a separate police reform bill last week and a procedural floor vote is expected on Wednesday.
