BREAKING: In US Senate floor speech, Majority Leader McConnell lambasts 'dramatically insufficient' impeachment process against President Trump, and hits out at Minority Leader Schumer's letter on Senate process.
Schumer, in a letter to McConnell, proposed that the Senate subpoena four people who are close to the president or are expected to know about the delay of about $400 million in military aid to Ukraine: Mulvaney; Bolton; Robert Blair, senior adviser to Mulvaney; and Michael Duffey, associate director for national security at the Office of Management and Budget.
The “preferable path,” McConnell said, “would have been an in-person conversation, which I nonetheless still hope to pursue.” "We certainly do not need jurors to start brain-storming witness lists for the prosecution and demanding to lock them in before we have even heard opening arguments," McConnell said.
“Why is the leader, why is the president, so afraid of having these witnesses come testify?” Schumer said. He added that he wanted McConnell to provide “specific” reasons his requested witnesses shoudn’t testify.
