Both sides debate amendments to impeachment trial rules
The Senate will now take up the question of whether to subpoena former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who Democrats believe could further tie President Trump to the Ukraine affair. The amendment would require"that if, during the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump, any party seeks to admit evidence that has not been submitted as part of the record of the House of Representatives and that was subject to a duly authorized subpoena, that party shall also provide the opposing party all other documents responsive to that subpoena.
"Mr. Mulvaney was at the center of every stage of the president's substantial pressure campaign against Ukraine," Jeffries said."Based on the extensive evidence that House did obtain, it is clear that Mulvaney was crucial in planning the scheme, executing its implementation and carrying out the coverup."Add White House counsel Pat Cipollone to the name of those hoping for Tuesday night's proceedings to end.
"Such motions could be filed as late as 9 a.m. tomorrow morning," he told ABC News as he stepped out of the chamber.Ueland also said the president is being kept"constantly updated" while in Davos"and is very impressed" with his team’s performance. With it still unclear how many more amendments Democrats might offer -- and how many more hours of debate that might mean -- the Senate then breaks for dinner.
Other senators relied on gum and mints to stay alert. GOP Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina was seen popping a mint into his mouth at about 6:10 p.m. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon was seen chewing on his pen. 6:39 p.m. House manager Jason Crow argues OMB documents would show President Trump used national defense funds for his political benefit
"These documents would provide insight into critical aspects of the military-aid hold. They would show the decision-making process and motivations behind President Trump's freeze. They would reveal the concerns expressed by career OMB officials including lawyers that the hold was violating the law. They would expose the lengths to which OMB went to justify the president's hold," he says.
It’s a farce we have watched them s president time after time lie and it just seems not enough people want the true. Sad day from r America

This is nothing less than a cover up plan and simple...
MAGA KAG 2020!!! USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
MitchCoverUp!
So asked and NOT answered. If you are innocent why refuse witnesses that have first hand knowledge of the facts. Not rocket science here! The Republican Senators know President Trump is GUILTY and are so in his pocket they would sell their honor for him
How's that party line vote feel, Democrats? You party line voted to impeach. You reap what you sow.
This isn't an ImpeachmentTrial, It's an ImpeachmentCoverUp!!
Did you hear that wimpier? That was the end of the US democracy
Summary: Republicans: We want a fair trial because trump is innocent. Democrats: Ok we want to see witnesses and documents and evidence. Republicans: Absolutely not. The End
Vote Mitch our vote all of them Republicans out.
The recital of Pledge of Allegiance was the biggest disgraceful lie heard from GOPSenate on that floor today. And they lied all day.
🐢🤬🤬🤬
Please let there be witnesses and documents. We need to PROVE him innocent or guilty. We need a fair trial.
America, are you listening? The Republicans are denying witnesses and documents required for a full and fair trial. They are lying to the American people, conducting a sham trial, betraying their oath to the U.S. Constitution, and enabling a corrupt presidency. Time to speak up.
Why do y'all gotta put this circus on during the day...who friggin cares pelosi an her monkeys in her circus are stealing money from us taxpayers too fund her tricks...y'all made me miss General Hospital which I would rather watch than this BS..y'all need to find better JOBS🤬😠
Like Rolls Royce Sang ... He’s GOIN DOWN
Moscow Mitch has sold our Country for $1.00
Dems should all walk out and have nothing more to do with this blatant partisan coverup. The whole thing is a joke.
