The House of Representatives could have called former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify during its impeachment inquiry but did not, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Monday after details of Bolton’s upcoming book leaked.

The House didn’t do its job and it’s not the Senate’s job to investigate, Ernst said during an appearance on the “Hugh Hewitt Show.”
