Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday signaled that Hunter Biden may be subpoenaed to testify in the Trump impeachment trial.
McConnell also told reporters the impeachment trial is likely to begin next Tuesday.
NBC News reporter Kasie Hunt asked McConnell if he would back calling in Hunter Biden to testify.
McConnell left the door open to the possibility and responded, “I can’t imagine” there will only be people the Democrats want to hear from.
The Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into President Trump after CIA official Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint against Trump over a July 25 phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Ciaramella was given second-hand information alleging Trump engaged in quid pro quo and pressured Zelensky to announce an investigation into the Biden crime family’s money laundering scheme in Ukraine in order for the US to release military aid.
Trump released the transcript which proved there was no pressure, no quid pro quo and the military aid was released to Ukraine three weeks early.
Zelensky never announced an investigation into the Bidens and he did nothing else in order to receive the US military aid.

The whistleblower who didn’t actually hear or see anything firsthand and shouldn’t have been allowed to file a report because of that fact?
They’re gonna have to find Hunter first. Doubt if he’s even in the country now.
Do not forget pelosi jr and the clintons etc.
I thought the Senate part didn’t require witnesses, that being the house’s job?
Should last 2 to 3 weeks. Id say 47 votes for conviction.
He is doing fine, despite his critics here.
and you need 67 votes for conviction. I dont see EVER 20 republicans voting to convict..its NOT gonna happen..EVER..I can see MAYBE Romney, Murkowski and Collins voting to convict but the rest of them, not gonna happen..and if Trump is NOT allowed to call any witnesses, we end this garbage on Tuesday with a vote
