House Democrats impeached Trump last month on two charges related to his handling of foreign policy in Ukraine, but their investigations into the issue remain open even as the spotlight turns to the launch of the Senate trial.
Democrats in both chambers are hoping the emergence of new evidence and eyewitness offers to testify will force Senate GOP leaders to consider the unexplored information, including captivating details of Trumps pressure campaign recently provided by Lev Parnas, a Soviet-born businessman with close ties to Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Most Senate Republicans, taking cues from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), oppose any effort to seek testimony from Parnas and other key figures who refused to cooperate in the initial House investigation a list that includes John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, who has since changed his tune and offered to testify under subpoena.
Yet even if McConnell has his way and prevents new witnesses from appearing, they may find a stage in the House, where a number of Democrats are already advocating for their testimony if theyre silenced by the Senate.

(87 posts)Gotta stop these Banana Republican asses from turning the U.S. into a Banana Republic... gotta get rid of the buffoon in the WH who seemed to miss history, civics and government in school.
Isn't there one honest Republican that will tell Drumpf that he is not a monarch, King or dictator and that he doesn't own the country. I'll gladly scrape up the money to ship him back to Germany. I don't think they'd put up with the Hitler wannabe for five seconds.

(5,591 posts)Resolution, the Republicans dont even want to hear already recorded testimony and only want to address the trial in late evening, into wee hours, no press.
Why are they even pretending anymore that they honor country over their own obsession for power?
