Republicans in Trump impeachment trial on the spot over Bolton book report

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans in the U.S. Senate came under fresh pressure on Monday to allow witnesses in his impeachment trial, while his defense team took aim at Democrats’ accusations that he mounted a pressure campaign against Ukraine for his own political ends.

Trump’s legal team on Monday resumed its presentation of opening arguments in the trial, including remarks by Ken Starr, the former independent counsel whose investigation into a sex scandal paved the way for the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, in 1998. Another Trump lawyer, Jane Raskin, also made a defense of his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

“I think it’s increasingly likely that other Republicans will join those of us who think we should hear from John Bolton,” Romney told reporters.See more stories “I haven’t seen the manuscript, but I can tell you nothing was ever said to John Bolton,” Trump told reporters.In the initial hours of its second day of opening arguments, Trump’s defense team did not mention Bolton. Lawyers instead took aim at House accusations that Trump’s treatment of Zelenskiy amounted to a pressure campaign.

There are no revelations just don’t another ploy to drag it out some more

Another svetnick like host

Be careful what you wish for Chuck

Fake news..... he’s not qualified to have an honest opinion

Notice how the Democrats turn a deaf ear to the proof of innocence from the Republicans. Democrats can't handle the truth, even if it comes from their own evidence. Now if you say this snowflakes and liberals call you a bot. But they can't handle the truth.

Tell it to your imaginary friend loser.

New York Times and ‘Anonymous’ sources, always good for a laugh.

Your right ! it's clear absolutely Clear that the Bidens should be indicted on corruption and bribery along with apparently money laundering .

He is a big dumb kid.

Are Democrats all this stupid? The assistance was released on time, which is a fact. Whether Bolton is saying the truth or not changes nothing. What a waste of time and spirit. They are scared of peoble like Trump. A man not part of their political Game achieves more than ever.

Iron Man comics are proof of stuff, too.

IMPEACH HIM NOW!!!!!! RemoveTrumpNow

Nothing is stopping Chuckie from getting the house to go after Bolton and starting this process all over again just a distraction to keep this charade going

Funny how this was leaked during the impeachment.

'We deal with transcript evidence, we deal with publicly available information. We do not deal with speculation, allegations that are not based on evidentiary standards at all.' -- Jay Sekulow | Trump Defense Team

senatemajldr SenatorCollins SenatorRomney Mitch, if you let John Bolton to come to testify,it will not going to change any outcome of the impeachment but will extend&wasting time.President did a good job to stop corruption before aid going to Ukraine.

Hey Shumer. Here’s supper

WheresHunter?

Anyone can write a book and call it fact. This just another attempt by the left to keep up the lie.

there were justifications?

He should call the Bidens to..........

...and nothing

Last ditch effort by the treason Dems lol, so embarrassing... looking forward to their treason charges

Trump fna be aquitted. Democrats can cry harder. MAGA2020Landslide

Wrong Chuck but let’s get them all up there!! Expose them all Bolton & the Bidens! Throw Schiff in there too!!

Smoke and mirrors. Just plain nonsense and amazing how this crap always pops up at just the right time. So predictable! 🤣🤣

Except it's not revelations from the book. It's revelations reported by certain people with vested interests in destroying the President claiming to have read the manuscript filtered through a news organization with a history of getting allegations about RealDonaldTrump wrong

We cant rely on the system to save us, democrats are fighting within the law against a force openly operating outside the law, they cant win this, democracy needs us! Noon Wednesday the 29th in DC, rise up my fellow Americans, we should be ANGRY! SwarmTheSenate PowerToThePeople

Unpublished baseless allegations... Why aren't we surprised... Another hit job by democrats..

Uh huh

Worst Jew in America ?

So let's say Hunter Biden 'shot someone on 5th avenue'. If he did, he should be investigated & face accountability like anyone else. This would give zero right for a POTUS to break the law by extorting military aid to a foreign ally for an investigation our own DOJ could've done.

Bolton, only one of them is willing to testify in the Senate under oath. Only Mr. Bolton is willing to swear that he is telling the truth.' Liberal news reporting Biden extortion story The Dems really are desparate. Grasping at straws.

Report: Bolton says Trump tied Ukraine funds to Biden probePresident Trump told his national security adviser he wanted to maintain a freeze on military aid to Ukraine until it launched investigations into his Democratic rivals, according to drafts of John Bolton's forthcoming book, The New York Times reports. He'll sell books but won't voluntarily testify to the truth for the good of the country. That doesn't sound like a patriot to me. I find it interesting that these leaks are so well timed.. coincidence I doubt... Every President has wanted information about themselves and their enemies... You can go down the list.... You can’t impeach some one because you don’t like them...ImpeachmentHoax Let’s see
