Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) indicated in a closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans that he did not yet have enough votes to defeat an effort, expected later this week, to call additional witnesses and evidence in President Trump’s impeachment trial.

Pressure has ramped up to include witnesses after reports that former national security adviser John Bolton says in a book manuscript that Trump directly tied the holdup of nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine to investigations of former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

The former national security adviser, who has complied with a White House directive not to cooperate in the inquiry, said he would testify if the Senate subpoenaed him.

Of course, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff welcomed the idea of Bolton’s testifying.

But will he tell the truth when he will be under oath?

Well if we watch this video from 10 years ago he wouldn’t have a problem with lying under oath.

On a December 2010 episode of Fox News’ Freedom Watch, Bolton and the show’s host Andrew Napolitano were debating about recent WikiLeaks publications, and naturally, the subject of government secrecy came up.

“Now I want to make the case for secrecy in government when it comes to the conduct of national security affairs, and possibly for deception where that’s appropriate,” Bolton said. “You know Winston Churchill said during World War Two that in wartime truth is so important it should be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.”

“Do you really believe that?” asked an incredulous Napolitano.

“Absolutely,” Bolton replied.

“You would lie in order to preserve the truth?”

“If I had to say something I knew was false to protect American national security, I would do it,” Bolton answered.

It truly is outrageous that John Bolton is pushing a tell-all book after leaving the Trump White House under strained circumstances — and prior to the 2020 election.

Obviously, conservatives were wrong about Mr. Bolton.

Bolton, who left the administration in September, frequently clashed with the president on a range of foreign policy issues. Democrats have been pushing for the former diplomat, 71, to testify in Trump’s impeachment trial, demands amplified by new revelations in his forthcoming book.

The Washington Post reported Monday that Bolton was “regularly appalled” by the president’s behavior, citing people close to the former advisor. A person familiar with the book added that Bolton was unsure if Trump was motivated by U.S. interests or by “nefarious” goals.

Will Bolton tell the truth under oath?

After watching this video we all know he won’t.
