Romney, Collins say Bolton report strengthens case for witnesses, makes them increasingly likely

Ok, just heard one guy has said he thinks there could be 5-10 GOPers who would vote for witnesses to be called. So Bolton. It's feeling
now that odds are, in spite of Trump and McConnell's dread about it and McConnell's desire to obstruct it, the Dems will get Bolton.

Romney has held his head high on the question.


At least four Republicans would need to support Democrats' call for testimony in a vote expected this week.

A pair of moderate Republican senators said Monday that a report of major revelations in a soon-to-be-released book by John Bolton strengthens the case for calling witnesses in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial — and even a top ally of the president said Bolton would be a "relevant" witness.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said it's "increasingly likely" there will be enough Republican senators to vote to call witnesses.
