Did John Bolton Outfox Himself?

During the impeachment investigation, John Bolton, President Trump’s onetime national-security adviser, played a cagey game with Congress. He dropped hints suggesting that he knew a great deal about the President’s dealings with Ukraine—information that would have been highly relevant to the investigation. He also had a big deal with Simon & Schuster for a tell-all about his time in the Trump Administration, and the book had a tantalizing title: “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.” Bolton dodged testifying before either the House or the Senate, thus preserving his news-making disclosures for the book-buying public.
