Bolton's lawyers quote is in this piece by @Axios' @zacharybasu👇
Note: The court also explains, at length, that the very idea of absolute immunity from testifying is complete made-up fiction.
Bolton's argument for immunity is predicated on that fiction.

@axios @zacharybasu Bolton lawyer's claim is the Judiciary Committee told the court McGahn did not cover national security.
But what's more important:
DOJ told the court McGahn's position covered national security. The court said, okay, but that's irrelevant! Immunity does not exist regardless.
