US President Donald Trump listens to a question from reporters next to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as he arrives for a closed Senate Republican policy lunch on Capitol Hill in Washington, US, on March 26 2019.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Monday that Republicans had not ruled out hearing witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, one of the main sticking points in drafting rules for the proceedings.
Allowing witness testimony, particularly from current and former administration officials, was likely to prolong the trial and could bring up new evidence damaging to Trump. Trump was charged with abuse of power and obstructing Congress’ investigation. He has said he did nothing wrong. “We haven’t ruled out witnesses,” McConnell said in an interview with Fox & Friends. “We’ve said, ‘Let’s handle this case just like we did with President Clinton.’ Fair is fair.”
