Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) indicated on Tuesday that Democrats will force votes during the Senate impeachment trial on calling witnesses such as acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security adviser John Bolton.
Schumer said that he will discuss his initial proposal for a Senate trial with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) but stressed that “every senator will have a choice.”
“We will have votes on whether these people should testify, and whether these documents should be made public as part of the trial, and the American people will be watching. They will be watching. Who is for an open and fair trial?” Schumer asked.
Schumer added that senators will have to decide if they “want a fair, honest trial that examines all the facts" or "a trial that doesn't let all the facts come out.”
Schumer sent his initial offer on Senate impeachment trial procedure to McConnell over the weekend. As part of his offer Schumer wants to call four witnesses, including Mulvaney and Bolton.
McConnell appeared to reject that offer on Tuesday, calling it "dead wrong," and warned that it "could set a nightmarish precedent for our institution."
McConnell and Schumer are expected to meet to discuss Senate trial procedure “very soon,” according to the GOP leader.

BRING IT SCHUMER!
Oh yeah...and Rudy will share his Ukranian findings.
If they twist the law in a kangaroo court to undo the election, we have the right to resist backed up by the Second Amendment. DC needs to be taught to fear us again
The democrats in the House are sending the senate their case. It is not for the senate to rehash it, it is for the senate to decide if it is worthy of conviction or acquittal. What say you Chuck? I know that if 51 say acquittal, acquittal it shall be.
Ain't gonna happen.
Vote. You’ll lose 52-48.
If the GOPe votes to acquit, they will lose the vote because Collin, Murkowski, Gardner and that rotten scoundrel Mitt Romney will vote No. By the way “THANKS UTAH”.
“The facts are not on their side...the media is.”
Good observation.
And Perception is Reality, and the media controls the perception.
GOP will not lose any senate vote.
