'If you're going to have something you're going to call a trial, then it has to be open and fair,' Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen said.
Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen floated the idea today that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi could hold the impeachment articles from the GOP-led Senate until Mitch McConnell agrees to a fair trial.
"There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this," he told Fox News host Sean Hannity late last week. Earlier today, McConnell also rejected calls from Democrats for witnesses to testify in Trump's Senate trial. "I think the reason [Republicans are] so determined not to have these witnesses that come forward is that they could say something even more incriminating than the evidence that we've already heard," Van Hollen said during an appearance on MSNBC,"which would make it very hard for Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham to say, 'We see nothing, we hear nothing.'"
