WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told senators privately Tuesday he does not yet have the votes to block new witnesses in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
The GOP leader faced a handful of potential defections, but several days remained before any potential witness vote would be taken. McConnell has been trying to prevent a prolonged trial. Republicans were warned that subpoenaing testimony from Bolton or other witnesses could run quickly into legal challenges that could drag out for weeks.
The White House has blocked its aides from appearing in the impeachment proceedings and would almost certainly claim some sort of executive privilege or national security objections over Bolton testifying.

Republicans in Trump impeachment trial on the spot over Bolton book reportDemocratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that revelations from John Bolton's unpublished book has ‘erased’ any justification not to call witnesses in the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump Worst Jew in America ?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. Uh huh
