Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in The Washington Post on Bolton Testimony

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in a Washington Post column entitled “John Bolton’s Big Announcement on Testifying—and What it Means.” She explained that Bolton’s recent announcement to the effect that he would testify if subpoenaed in a Senate impeachment trial “effectively waive[s] any argument against testifying should the House subpoena him.” She elaborated, “Bolton had no plausible claim for absolute immunity from showing up to testify in the first place. But even if he previously had such a claim, there is no plausible basis on which it would apply only against a House subpoena and not against a Senate subpoena.”
