Sen. Mitt Romney said Monday it's "increasingly likely" there will be enough Republican senators to vote in favor of calling witnesses in President Donald Trump's Senate trial to compel their testimony after major revelations from a soon-to-be released book from former national security adviser John Bolton.
"I think, with the story that came out yesterday, it's increasingly apparent that it would be important to hear from John Bolton," the Republican senator from Utah told reporters in brief comments. He said he hasn't fully made up his mind on calling witnesses, but what Bolton has to say is "relevant" and "therefore I'd like to hear it."
"I think it's increasingly likely that other Republicans will join those of us who think we should hear from John Bolton," Romney said. "I've spoken with others who've opined upon this as well."
At least four Republicans would need to vote alongside all Democratic senators in order to secure new testimony, which could lengthen the trial.

Seriously. Go die in a fire and then go to hell.
Schumer and Schitt show 24/7 it seems and who can stand to hear their whiny voices??????
What a deceitful ass!
Is McConnell too stupid to understand that by not appearing on television it allows these bastards to control the narrative?
Our Constitution and just plain common sense intends that the House is the finder of facts regarding impeachment.
...........
The House judges those facts and forwards those facts, true or not, as Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.
.................
It is not the Senate’s job to then find more facts. The Senate either rejects or approves those House facts.
..............
The House may then either find more facts or not, it is not the Senate’s job to do so.
...............
The corrupting behavior here is the Senate thinking about choosing to do the House’s job. Doing so is clearly unconstitutional.
............
Previous impeachment deliberations in the Senate that did so were wrong.
And therefore we should not try to verify any of it.
.....
Exactly. ..it was the house’s responsibility to prove their case. Not the the senate.
I get nauseous when I reflect on when I voted for this terd.
What was the alternative?
Some country, eh?
I am praying the lawyers have a few things up their sleeves to put the flames out.
Rmoney strikes again.
I detest Rmoney. Sorry I ever voted for him.
I’ve seen him on TV. Not often, but I have seen him.
Hey Mitt they are going to put your head on a pike!
Another weak attempt by the crooks to throw a wrench in the works and this too will be thwarted like everything else they try!
For what it's worth, that's my take too.
Mitt Romney is an intellectual light weight.
That thought did cross my mind for a second. Perhaps it is true, we just sit back and enjoy the movie unfold. =)
UTTERLY DISGUSTING backstabber Romney proves
