President Trump on Thursday challenged House Democrats to impeach him “fast” and ship the process over to the Senate, where he threatened to seek testimony from top Democrats including House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
...
But despite his threats, the president does not, alone, have the power to call witnesses to testify in those proceedings. In the Senate trial, three separate parties have input to how it will play out: Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and the White House.
...
A senior Senate Republican aide told Fox News last month that once they receive articles of impeachment, they will begin working on two resolutions — one that governs the timeline of the trial, and the other that sets up witnesses for closed-door depositions, as well as which witnesses will be required to testify on the stand.
The aide suggested that Republican senators – like Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis. – could be attempting to help “shape” the witness list and the trial in their recent attempts to obtain documents and information from the administration and companies related to Hunter Biden.

The best trial EVAHHHHHHHH!
Even if they are called, they will please the 5th.
This guy ain’t no Nixon, that’s for sure.
This won’t leave the House.
L
I can hear it already. Either they will refuse to testify, or the lawyer will ask, were you lying then, or are you lying now?
“...In the Senate trial, three separate parties have input to how it will play out: Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and the White House...”
The Senate Democrats should be held to the same amount of input that the Republicans and White House had in the House hearings...
Counterpunch!
If she lets it get that far, she’s stupider than I gave her credit for.....................
Can RATS walk in quicksand? Pelousy and Co. didn’t think this thing through before proceeding with the impeachment proceeding.
Schiff has already said he will not testify.
LOL. Glass half full guy!!!
God bless Trump.
By the way, which State elected Pierre Delecto aka Mitt Romney as their Senator? I remember now, it was Utah. Now that’s something to be proud of.
i know what you meant but those two couldn’t please anybody.
A trial wouldn’t be much of a trial if subpoenaed witnesses could just opt out.
If subpoenaed he will.
I think he would have to show up. He would have to take the 5th to avoid testifying. That would look great!
Nancy would wear out her finger answering ,LOL
Arrest the little bolshevik.
