'There are a lot of senators, who I think will wind up acquitting the president, that believe that we need to hear the House’s case, the president’s case and ask questions.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham acknowledged on Sunday the Republican majority “does not have the votes” in the Senate to quickly dismiss the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
“So the idea of dismissing the case early on is not going to happen. We don't have the votes for that," he concluded. Some new allegations underscore the case against the president — a blow to Republicans lobbying for a quick dismissal of the articles of impeachment. “You took 48 days to impeach this president. You did not allow him to call any witnesses. He could not have a lawyer present during the House Intel Committee,” he went on. “This has been a partisan railroad job.”
