Top Democrats on Sunday renewed their demands for witnesses to testify at President Trumps impeachment trial, citing newly released emails showing that the White House asked officials to keep quiet over the suspension of military aid to Ukraine just 90 minutes after Mr. Trump leaned on that countrys president to investigate former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The emails, released late Friday by the Trump administration to the Center for Public Integrity, shed new light on Mr. Trumps effort to solicit Ukraine to help him win re-election in 2020, the matter at the heart of the Houses vote on Wednesday to impeach him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
With the Senates Democratic and Republican leaders at odds over the trials format, Democrats seized on the emails in an effort to put pressure on Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader. Mr. McConnell, who wants a bare-bones proceeding, has rejected a proposal by his Democratic counterpart, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, to have four top White House officials testify.
"What is a trial with no witnesses and no documents? Mr. Schumer said Sunday during a news conference in New York City. Its a sham trial.
