he's still a white house employee. but he was most important to this conversation because he was on that phone call between president trump and the president of ukraine that kicked off this entire impeachment inquiry. so he could speak to the phone call. he could also to speak to bolton, who they want to get in here, reacted to it. but he's now the first person to take this issue of the bat the between congress and the white house to the courts this is not his battle to decide essentially. he wants the judicial branch to weigh in on whether or not it's appropriate for him to follow a congressionally mandated subpoena or the guidance of the white house, which is not to come testify. you heard adam schiff saying that's not good enough. they are going to put his lack of forthcomingness to speak to the committee in a bucket that says he's obstructing and he must thehave something damning say. they are hoping to essentially move on with the inquiry. >> there has been, as you know, a fair amount of consequential testimony al
