John Bolton's lawyers spoke with House committees about possible deposition in impeachment inquiry
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Lawyers for former national security adviser John Bolton have had talks with the three House committees leading the impeachment inquiry about a possible deposition, according to a source familiar.
The top US diplomat to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, told Congress this week that Bolton had expressed concern about a call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Taylor's opening statement.
Trump fired Bolton as his national security adviser last month, after Trump made clear he "strongly disagreed" with many of Bolton's suggestions. The New York Times first reported that Bolton's lawyers were talking to the House committees.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
