The Senate has voted 53-47 along party lines to kill a proposal from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that would have issued a subpoena for President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton's testimony.

Trump's lawyers slam Nadler after he accuses Senate Republicans of 'voting for a coverup'White House counsel Pat Cipollone chastised House impeachment manager Jerry Nadler for his argument in favor of former national security adviser John Bolton’s testimony, during which Nadler repeatedly accused Senate Republicans of participating in a coverup if they denied Democratic requests for witnesses.

“Will you vote to allow all of the evidence to be presented here? Or will you betray your pledge to be impartial juror?” Nadler said. “Will you bring Bolton here and permit us to present you with the entire record of the President's misconduct? Or choose to be complicit in the President's cover up."

Let the truth RING

I love all the anger. Where was it when Schiff turned down all the GOP requested witnesses during the Senate trial? Oh yeah there wasn't!! They had their chance during the Congressional trial and had nothing and still have nothing.

Like no one saw this coming. The GOP know Trump is guilty but they sit there and do nothing. senatemajldr you are SCUM!!!! But if being a floor mate helps you sleep at night, well...

Never in my life did I think I would see a United States Senate as corrupt as we currently face. The self serving of the GOP is disgusting. How do these people sleep at night. Taking a paycheck from taxpayers without actually doing their job equates to having no integrity. Shame!

Sucks to be a dem pushing witch hunts

Republicans are afraid of the truth because Bolton is a good witness to show that Donald Trump is a criminal. The party will go down in history with a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Time to vote blue for 2020!

Since the beginning of this impeachment, all votes has been along party lines ,why making a case from it now .

The only appropriate response to SenSchumer is to reject everything he submits until he is truly ready to defend the citizens of the USA against all enemies, foreign and domestic. senatemajldr SenateDems SenateGOP LindseyGrahamSC SenSusanCollins

Must be breathing a sigh of relief but “its not over til it’s .” Mr President.

Executive privilege and Presidential prerogative exist for a reason.

Sad day for America! Sad day for democracy!

ParkeyJennifer Table doesn’t not equal KILL

John Bolton should hit every single news outlet and spill the beans. Let’s see how thing go in the Senate while he’s on the air everywhere. Come on Uncle Johnny, do it for the country and the ratings.

MittRomney do right thing bub

Everyone here stop crying and vote in November. 10 months. Simple as that.

It was fun when the house made up their own rules and you schmucks ate it up! So sorry the senate isn’t accommodating their BS! Enjoy the show 🤡s!

Not the house hut the senate

I’m watching the impeachment trial and can’t believe that the GOP don’t want any witnesses. What kind of trial is this, what are they afraid is going to come out.The truth, I’m starting to believe that the law was broken and the GOP are covering it up. I want to hear from witness

GOP SenateGOP ChrisCuomo AC360 coverupmitch senatemajldr Mitch is done

Yes because this impeachment hoax is a sham. If another Democrat ever get selected to the White House I hope he'll enjoy being impeached every year they're in office they open the floodgates

Isn't it the Congress that is already supposed to have all the evidence, before it goes to the Senate? Why didn't didn't they already have this done in the Congress? Trump is going to win in 2020 because of the Democrats! Plus when AlanDersh says, no question, dismiss, Problem

Schiff is claiming the Senate must call 'important witnesses' instead of 'kicking the can down the road' on calling witnesses and yet, if the witnesses were so important, he could have called them. He refused. He kicked the can down the road to the Senate by not calling them.

Republicans:

shocking to see Cipollone and senatemajldr lie in front of the camera without shame, denying Americans access to the TRUTH of this Trump Impeachment

This is a misconception. The Senate yes denied the amendments but some Republicans Senators willing to have witnesses said it would be in the vote after the opening arguments in a few days.

They “tabled” the amendment, to be more precise.

GOP cover up.

.wellcometoothesenate!

Americans are watching. We will vote in a few months

Let truth prevail is it a misnomer? Life Goes On Half Truths Legally Just Businesses we all are Busy with? Do we hear cries noises from within or Matter has crushed Spirit? How long how far how much?God also doesnot know Amen President shall be buried legally cleanly always?

And the corruption continues!

What a shame.

What a mockery. If he has nothing to hide why the cover up? Republicans lack any credibility.

Remember Adam shits didn’t even subpoena Jon Bolton

What I've also learnt today. ▶️ It is bad for the country to have impeachment driven by partisan politicians who want a political outcome — the process be damned! ▶️ It’s unconscionable that the House would ask the Senate to treat the courts as an impediment to impeachment.

Why won't they subpoena Hunter Biden

Great

Democrats lose again.

Why does the title say that The House did it?

Most senators are over 60 and i bet some are wearing an adult diaper tonight. 😂😂
