Schumer: New unredacted emails show need for impeachment witnesses
A new report exposing unredacted Defense Department emails is fueling a push by Democratic leaders to summon witnesses to President Trump’s impeachment trial.
“The American people deserve a fair trial that gets to the truth, not a rigged process that enables a cover-up,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Thursday.
Democrats want the GOP Senate majority to agree to call several Trump administration officials to testify at a Senate trial that will weigh two articles of impeachment accusing Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, won’t agree to Schumer’s witness list and wants the Senate to start the trial and decide on witnesses later.
