Former National Security Advisor John Bolton reportedly called Democrat Rep. Engel after he was fired in September and told him to look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
Bolton “strongly implied that something improper had occurred around her removal as our top diplomat in Kyiv.”
Trump fired Bolton as NatSec Advisor on September 10 and so he called the House Foreign Affairs Chairman on September 23 to tell him to look into Yovanovitch’s ousting.

If this phone call to Rep. Engel was so alarming and so important, why didn’t it end up in the House Democrats’ impeachment case?
Strangely, just one month before Bolton called Rep. Engel, he praised President Trump and called out Ukraine corruption.
Bolton backed Trump during his interview in August and one month later changed his tune and turned on Trump.
WATCH:
Senator Rand Paul said it perfectly! “Why didn’t John Bolton testify to the US House? Apparently his book wasn’t quite finished yet for presales!”

President Trump tore into his former national security advisor John Bolton on Wednesday, saying he fired Bolton for giving such bad advice that “if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now”
