If President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is called to testify in the Senate impeachment trial, he's prepared to do so, as long as he has the White House's blessing.
Democrats have wanted to call additional witnesses in the trial, but GOP leaders have argued it could unnecessarily extend the trial's length and pushed for a final judgment. According to the trial's rules, subpoenaing witnesses requires a majority Senate vote, so four Republicans would have to break ranks with the GOP leadership and join the Democrats.
Giuliani told CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge the list of witnesses that could be called includes him. Asked why he wasn't part of Trump's impeachment defense, the former New York City mayor explained that he is on the team but can't"participate in what goes on in the Congress" because he's a possible witness.
At the center of Trump's trial is the accusation that he used withheld military aid and a White House visit to pressure Ukraine's president to announce an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter in an effort to influence the 2020 election. Trump has rejected the charge, saying he had an obligation as president to investigate corruption.
President-elect Donald Trump meets with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on November 20, 2016. During an interview with CBS, Giuliani said he would testify in Trump's Senate trial if the White House approved.Tasked with investigating that corruption was Giuliani, according to the ex-mayor, who claims he has collected damning evidence against Democrats.
