asks White House for expedited review so he can testify if called.An attorney for John Bolton has pushed back against the White Houses assessment that his book manuscript contains classified material and asked for an expedited review of a chapter about Ukraine in case the former national security adviser is called to testify in the Senate impeachment trial.
The Jan. 24 email to the White House from Boltons lawyer, Charles Cooper, was in response to a letter from the National Security Council a day earlier warning that the manuscript contained significant amounts of classified material that could not be disclosed publicly.
We do not believe that any of that information could reasonably be considered classified, Cooper responded, according to a copy of the email he released Wednesday.
He added that Bolton is preparing for the possibility he could be called to testify in the ongoing Senate trial, writing that it was imperative that we have the results of your review of that chapter as soon as possible.

No worries about corruption until Biden's polling numbers topped trumPutin's.
No worries about Ukraine corruption through 45 times delivering aid to Ukraine, then, we need a favor, though.
