Former White House advisor on Russia, Fiona Hill, leaves Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, Oct. 14, 2019, after testifying before congressional lawmakers as part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
A whistleblower complaint about that call, later made public, prompted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to launch the impeachment inquiry. Giuliani is Trump’s personal lawyer and was heavily involved in the effort to pressure Ukraine on the investigations. The interviews are among what could eventually become dozens of closed-door depositions in the impeachment probe. There are five more scheduled this week, mostly with State Department officials, though it is unclear if they will all appear after Trump declared he wouldn’t cooperate with the probe.
The three committees leading the probe are seeking interviews next week with Russell Vought, acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Michael Duffey, another OMB official who leads national security programs, according to a person familiar with those requests. That person wasn’t authorized to discuss the invitations and requested anonymity.
The committees are also scheduled to talk to Ulrich Brechbuhl, a State Department counselor, on Thursday. On Friday, the lawmakers have scheduled an interview with Laura Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. It is unclear if any of those officials will show up after Trump’s vow of non-cooperation.
Funny how the American Press allowed John Bolton and the Inter Agency Consensus of grifters like Kent, Dr Hill, Nuland & Taylor be hand grenades that blew up the US foreign policy for decades. They all got rich (press included) Afghanistan Syria Libya Maidan Coup
Vampire Rat Fink is at it again!
And blowing everybody up was Bolton’s job...
If Boltons worried that someone is a loose cannon........
Give me a break! So this warmonger is now your buddy! He exaggerates!

SethAbramson Who could’ve ever predicted that Hawk Bolton would become one of the Democrats hero’s in this trump /Ukraine/impeachment saga Strange bedfellows
How many millions did nuclear bomb Bolton murder?
Funny since some people on the left would describe John Bolton using those terms.
Stop your messing around Better think of your future Time you straighten right out Creating problems in town Rudy A message to you, Rudy A message to you Stop your fooling around Time you straighten right out Better think of your future Else you'll wind up in jail
Graham17224731 Truth is coming. Brace yourself zombies.

SethAbramson John Bolton was right... ...is a sentence that really really hurts my brain to even type. But here we are.
Broken clock Bolton.
SethAbramson Giuliani did say on national television that his mission is 'to disrupt the world.'
SethAbramson Why John, you say that as if it's a bad thing.
SethAbramson Chaos in DC where John Bolton: 'Not only demanded the Trump admin. withdraw from the nuclear deal, he also previously advocated bombing Iran instead.' But Giuliani was the risk?
Soros” assistant
Graham17224731 He is. He’s blowing up all the corruption amongst the Barry admin.
SethAbramson Who would have thought Bolton would turn out to be the sane guy?
SethAbramson
No he's not it the Dems who will blow themselves up with more lies
SethAbramson NARRATOR: He wasn't wrong.
Pretty bad when Abusive Stepdad Walrus thinks you’re too volatile.
Still using leading adverbs to describe President Trump's request that Ukraine work with the DOJ. No quid pro quo.
It takes a rocket to identify a grenade. Boom, boom.
What does Wes Anderson have to do with this article?
Key word here: FORMER! Trump has made many mistakes in his past hirings, even in cabinet appointments. Giuliani's only problem is that as a former prosecutor, he's kind of a Pit Bull, but he's still working to further US interests.
With everything coming out about johnbolton there are so many things that don't fit the narrative that was painted about him.
So you like Bolton now?
MrJonCryer Here's hoping.
No surprise here!
Interesting....Trumpy wanted the Ulkraine to exonerate Russia of the 2016 election interference, and oh yeah, Russia seems to be gaining a lot of ground in that area!!! If that doesn’t frighten you, I don’t know what will? It sure proves too me that Trumpy owes Russia Big time!
Nasty piece of work.
MrJonCryer FFS Her name is Fiona Hill Use it She's the hero Not Bolton who had the platform to tell the American people what was happening
Courageous woman of the year after Marie Yanovich (sp?) and though John Bolton is a hawk he is loyal to the U.S. and ethical.
He needs to blow the Deep State straight to Hell!
Reving up pre book sales.
You’re a joke AP. The story is; Bolton in a hissy fit for getting fired leaked this ridiculous story.
AP... always propaganda
Boom!
They feed off each other, what a deadly combination!
New narrative?
But this is ok to let go on Pelosi's son
How is anything getting out to the press if its held in secrecy
But again, HE SAID NOTHING.
Yep more leAked crap from the Dems which you all are lead by a leash. Nothing is real anymore and you the media IS the problem. EnemyOfThePeople
How did ap get this information from a closed door meeting that Republicans were barred from attending. Beginning to think ap is a cnn affiliate.
A month ago Bolton was the hand grenade. sheesh
This Ukrainian shit is gonna be explosive
Or Drain the SWAMP
I can only pressume 'back-channel activities' has a different meaning across the pond.
So much swamp, including the impeachment BS
They are Trump’s back-channel activities. The back-channel are the persons doing Trump’s criminal acts.
Attention RudyGiuliani
fakenews
Well now we know why he was fired. Oh sorry, forced to resign. Like Sooo many others that piss the the pseudo Dictator off.
The Democrats kick a Republican on the Judiciary Cmte out of the Fiona Hill hearings for no reason, then of course they leak everything they want from the same hearing. How to run a sham impeachment 'inquiry'.
Yikes. I gotta believe that if John Bolton is alarmed by your behavior, you might need check yourself.
John Bolton is a criminal of the highest order when it comes to measuring blood and money. Few worse. And AP uses him as a source of credibility. Read that again
Is Bolton going to sit for questions? I’ll never be a fan, but I might develop some respect for him.
Bottom line is that every witness so far has given testimony that is consistent with the whistleblower's complaint.
Is the AP part of the DNC now?
Welp. Fox News is going to have to start slandering John Bolton. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
We all knew Bolton loves taking down countries and regimes....but the USA?
Trump in five minutes: “I barely knew Bolton. A RINO”
Selective leaking from secret testimony where Republicans are banned should alarm the media, but doesn't for some strange reason
The swamp needs to be blown up!!
John Bolton isn't credible on any level. If it was up to him we would have our hands in everything.
If you had John Bolton in your pool for who would save the country from Trump’s destruction, you won a lot of money! Nobody would have guessed!
ok, this is nothing. absolutely nothing. No one cares about bolton, the left celebrated when he left. So really all we have here is emotional dialog based on things we arent allowed to know bc democrats wont release the transcripts
He said, she said, they said .
John Bolton is the neowhistleblower
That's somewhat ironic coming from the war criminal Bolton.
