Senate Votes In Favor Of Witnesses In Trump’s Second Impeachment Trial

Via Just The News:

The fifth day of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial began with a surprise as senators voted 55-45 on Saturday to call witnesses but later moved to closing arguments. 

Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina voted with Democrats to subpoena witnesses and documents.

“This is a political theater and I think the House managers were feeling heat on their left flank,” Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said. “At this point, nobody knows what’s going to happen.”

Trump’s defense had up to 16 hours to present their case on Friday but used less than 4 hours. Senators had up to 4 hours to question both sides after Trump’s defense presented. The questioning lasted for more than 2 hours. 

On Saturday before the vote to call witnesses, Trump defense lawyer Michael van der Veen called on senators to “close this case out today.” He said the House managers included 100 people in their case who were arrested after the riot took place. Before the Senate voted in favor of witnesses, van der Veen said he would need 100 depositions and an ample amount of time to do the “investigation” that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hasn’t done yet.

“This entire proceeding is based on rumor, report, innuendo,” he said. “There’s nothing to it.”

Maryland Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin, lead impeachment manager, said Trump should testify in the impeachment trial. He also said Republican Washington Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler should testify about the statement she issued regarding House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s conversation with Trump on the day of the riot.
