State Department official to testify that John Bolton warned about influence of Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine

"Former national security adviser John Bolton cautioned about the influence Rudy Giuliani had on US-Ukraine policymaking during a meeting in mid-June with top US officials, a career foreign service officer plans to tell Congress on Wednesday, according to a copy of his opening statement obtained by CNN. Christopher Anderson, who was the assistant to former special envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker from 2017-2019, is one of two State Department officials set to testify behind closed doors later Wednesday as part of the House Ukraine impeachment inquiry. Catherine Croft, who took over that role in summer 2019, is also testifying behind closed doors Wednesday, and the testimony started around 9:30 a.m. ET. The House Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena to Croft on Wednesday morning for her testimony, according to an official working on the impeachment inquiry. Volker, as well as a number of other State Department officials, have already testified as part of the probe. Neither witness is expected to unearth a treasure trove of details that will change the trajectory of the investigation, but their testimonies are expected give context for how the Trump administration's US-Ukraine policy developed and confirm details that have already been presented."
