Not if Trump was lying as usual and telling the GOP that Bolton knows nothing.Why would Trump White House tell anyone, including his defenders, that there is even more evidence of his corrupt scheme?
I doubt any Republicans are frustrated about not knowing earlier. I think they wish they still did not know.

Bolton is selling a book.
He'll take the witness stand, get on national TV, mention his book, and take the 5th.
The thing is, his White House lawyers all knew about this Bolton manuscript and what was contained in it since December. Still, they stood up in front of Congress and professed outrage that the democrats could dare to try to impeach Trump on 'hearsay'. These lawyers have licenses to practice law, and that comes with responsibilities, one of which is not to be complicit in a crime, which is exactly what they've done. How many, including lawyers, went to prison from their complicity in the Watergate coverup? Quite a few. These men have put their law licenses in jeopardy at the very least.
Romney, Collins, and Murkowski have all made remarks that indicate they support Bolton testifying. That brings us to 50 now.
Where do you get that from?

If it’s true that no witness has testified to this, it’s precisely because Trump blocked witnesses who could testify to it
Any news, it's all out there in the public domain. Just google it.

One thing that's not clear to me is why would not Bolton testify before the House, like other witnesses that agreed to do so, despite Trump attempts to block witnesses.
You betcha'! And they deserve it. But they have no choice, because allowing witnesses, documentation, and evidence, will sink them and Trump.What's that get him he doesn't already have?
Seems to me, it would be better for his book sales (since that's apparently the only thing that could possibly motivate him) to be locked out of testimony (still likely) by the GOP, and go to his grave talking up how he had new information to reveal, but that the Senate wasn't in the market for true information.
That, and sticking Trump in this difficult position, sounds a lot more like fitting revenge to me.
And it's still up to the Senate GOP today, since they could decide to let him testify, and respond to his testimony for the love of the truth, rather than block it for the love of Trump.
Of course, none of that will stop Bolton from dumping everything he's got to the public if the Senate trial doesn't conclude to his satisfaction.
If the Senate can't even fake up a vague interest in the truth of the charges against Trump, we can and will rub their noses in it right up to the election.

The NSC says no one at the White House has access to the manuscript.

Yeah, Bolton is crap too. All of them are. Trump surrounds himself with & breeds crap. Pure & simple.Bolton is an accomplice in my view. He was Nat. Security Director. He knew about 'the drug deal' and warned that it was all 'going to blow up on them'. So, why didn't he do the patriotic thing, the thing he took an oath to do and protect this democracy by coming forward with what he knew instead of merely trying to cash in on it with his book?
Trump's cover up and witholding evidence from the American people and Democrats up to now has succeeded.
But when you treat you defenders with the same contempt and hide evidence from them, well Trump may have cooked his own goose.
Since the Bolton news broke, the White House has heard from Republican senators frustrated that they were kept in the dark when at least someone in the White House had the Bolton manuscript since the end of December, according to a source familiar with the conversations.
