And the House never even attempted to subpoena John Bolton. So we dont think that theres a basis for the Senate going to get testimony at this point,\u201d a source on the legal team told reporters in a phone call on Jan. 28.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe job of the House is to do a proper investigation in something that is this serious before going to the Senate. And we dont think that its the proper role of the Senate to start opening things up, to be addressing new developments on the fly in the middle of a trial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The legal team isnt concerned about information Bolton would bring forward because they know Trump hasnt done anything wrong, the source said.<\/p>\n<p>A source on the team highlighted that there were 17 witnesses called during the House impeachment inquiry and how House Democrats subpoenaed Charles Kupperman, a former deputy to Bolton. When Kupperman filed a lawsuit asking a judge whether he should obey the subpoena or the White House, which requested that he not testify, House Democrats withdrew the subpoena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they were not attempting to really pursue these witnesses before. Its not the time now to have the Senate go at it,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<p>Trumps legal team also said that House impeachment managers have said they had a strong case with overwhelming evidence and questioned why additional witnesses would be needed if that was true.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25\/White-House-counsel-Pat-Cipollone--1200x781.jpg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" alt=\"White House counsel Pat Cipollone speaks\"\/><figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2020\/01\/25\/White-House-counsel-Pat-Cipollone--1200x781.jpg\" alt=\"White House counsel Pat Cipollone speaks\"\/><\/figcaption><\/a> White House counsel Pat Cipollone speaks during impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on Jan. 25, 2020.
