John Bolton in the spotlight after impeachment inquiry
In the past, there have been several conflicts between Bolton and Trump on the issues surrounding foreign policy. Trump in his statement said that the ‘hawkish’ Bolton was not very compatible with the administration and always was on the opposite side of the policy. After the impeachment hearing, Bolton took the spotlight and his actions and words were closely monitored by the media. Bolton, who is one of the witnesses has refused to testify in the impeachment inquiry unless the federal judge considers that he can be "compelled to testify against the White House’s wishes.” However, the lawyer of Bolton argued that he has knowledge of several relevant meetings and conversations related to President Trump’s call to his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.

We have now liberated the Twitter account, previously suppressed unfairly in the aftermath of my resignation as National Security Advisor. More to come.....

Re: speaking up -- since resigning as National Security Advisor, the @WhiteHouse refused to return access to my personal Twitter account. Out of fear of what I may say? To those who speculated I went into hiding, I’m sorry to disappoint!

In full disclosure, the @WhiteHouse never returned access to my Twitter account. Thank you to @twitter for standing by their community standards and rightfully returning control of my account.

Donald Trump questioned the White House during his interview asking whether they froze the account of Bolton. He further said that he shared a good relationship with Bolton.
