'I don't like the idea of people making John Bolton out to be a liar,' Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade said.
Prior to Kilmeade's defense of the former diplomat, the show's hosts discussed a tweet by Trump from Wednesday evening. In that post, the president shared a clip of Bolton discussing Ukraine policy in an interview from August. During the clip, the former Trump adviser doesn't mention any concerns about administration policy.Democrats have urged Republicans to vote with them to call Bolton and other administration officials to testify in the ongoing Senate trial.
But at least four GOP senators would need to vote alongside all 45 Democrats and the chambers two independents to garner a simple majority of 51 in favor of calling new witness testimony. While several other Republicans have previously suggested that they'd be open to hearing from additional witnesses, it's still unclear whether such a measure would pass.
The vote on whether to call Bolton and others to testify is expected on Friday. If that vote fails, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, is expected to quickly move to acquit Trump. According to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday, a full 75 percent of registered voters want the Senate to call additional witnesses. That number includes nearly half – 49 percent – of Republicans, 75 percent of independents, and 95 percent of Democrats.
