New evidence against Trump is likely to emerge during Senate impeachment trial, Schiff says
WASHINGTON — House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff expects new evidence to come out during the course of the Senate impeachment trial, adding a possible element of surprise to the proceeding and potentially complicating Republican efforts to reach a speedy conclusion.
“There’s going to be new evidence coming out all the time. And if this is conducted like a fair trial, then that new evidence should be admitted. If it’s relevant, if it’s probative, if it sheds light on the guilt or innocence of the president, then it should be admitted,” said Schiff, who was appointed Wednesday the lead House manager prosecuting the case against President Donald Trump.
Schiff, D-Calif., spoke to the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday as the House voted largely along party lines to approve Schiff and six other representatives, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., as managers in the trial.
The vote cleared the way for the impeachment articles to be forwarded to the Senate, where pretrial proceedings are expected to start Thursday.
