The Senate on Friday voted to block any witnesses from being called in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, a move that marked the beginning of the end of the third Senate trial for a president in US history.
The plan would allow Democratic presidential candidates to travel to Iowa this weekend ahead of the Iowa caucuses, and give Republicans who wanted to discuss their votes the chance to deliver statements on the Senate floor. Their reasons differed. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, said in a statement:"I don't believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed."
After a month delay, the Senate trial began less than two weeks ago. The House managers, led by House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, presented a detailed case arguing they had overwhelming evidence that Trump withheld $400 million in US security aid and a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky while he pressured Kiev to open investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
On Friday, new allegations came from The Times from Bolton's manuscript — that Trump directed Bolton to help his attorney Rudy Giuliani get in touch with the Ukrainian president in May — which Schiff cited during Friday's witness debate.
THAT IS CORRUPTION STRAIGHT IN YOUR FACE. DARN SYSTEM IS CORRUPT.
Ang kasong hilaw na ipinipilit mahinog ay mhinsi kanaisnais tanggapin at kainin. Mapakla!
Now can both houses of Congress please be about the nation’s business like Donald J. Trump has been?
