Rep. declined to comment on whether the House would subpoena former national security adviser after the topic came up during an interview Sunday.
CBS's Margaret Brennan asked Schiff, the head House impeachment manager in 's impeachment trial, if Bolton would be subpoenaed in the lower chamber following the Senate's likely acquittal of Trump.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman's comments come two days after the Senate voted not to include additional witnesses and documentation in the impeachment trial.
Last week, The New York Times revealed a section of Bolton's manuscript stated that Trump had been directly involved in withholding the aid until the country agreed to investigate former Vice President and his family.
The president's legal team had been arguing in the impeachment trial that Trump did not directly say to hold back the aid.
Democrats pushed for senators to support Bolton testimony during the trial but were unsuccessful.
The impeachment trial is expected to end this week with Trump's acquittal, but the House would still have the ability to subpoena Bolton.
