Kellyanne Conway on John Bolton: The President May Exert Executive Privilege

‘For months, the Democrats had the show trial’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "As you know, Democrats are honing in on John Bolton, forming a national security letter to the president, as their key witness. If both sides were able to call witnesses, if that were to happen — there's going to be a debate over that, likely — what would that mean for the White House to have John Bolton testify?"
CONWAY: "Very little. The president may exert executive privilege. The House should have called John Bolton if they were so anxious to hear from him. The House put together a rushed, historically thin case. Again, they bear the burden, the president is like a defendant in the court of law. They bore the burden to prosecute him and they failed. We were lectured by law professors, we had a bunch of people opining about what they think our policy toward Ukraine should be, who then had to admit they had never talked to the president at all, let alone about Ukraine.”
