Bolton would like a subpoena

First, his lawyer teased Bolton's knowledge of something tantalizing. Now this.
Former national security adviser John Bolton reportedly criticized President Trump's foreign policy last week, accusing Trump of being motivated primarily by personal or financial interests in his dealings with Turkey.

NBC News reported Tuesday that Bolton made the comment at a private gathering last week in a global investment event organized by Morgan Stanley, at which he also reportedly took shots at Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, who remain White House aides.

His remarks come as Trump has faced heavy criticism for ordering a U.S. withdrawal from northern Syria, where Turkish forces have invaded Kurdish-held areas.

  The Hill
Not to mention an impending visit by Turkey's leader.
House Democrats have attempted to obtain testimony from Bolton for the ongoing impeachment inquiry against the president, though those efforts have not yet been successful.
Yes, he balked, and Schiff wasn't willing to put a hold on impeachment proceedings to get him there. If Bolton really wants to testify, he needs to volunteer.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
