Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in to @MSNBC . I'll be on shortly with @chucktodd to discuss the impeachment trial as we head into the second day of questions from Senators."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Have not yet heard a good explanation for why these funds were held up after DoD officials sounded the alarm that it was in violation of the law & harmful to our Ukrainian allies. Like @RepJasonCrow said-this delay mattered. For Ukraine, in the midst of a war, any delay mattered."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Durbin: Why Did President Trump Continue Holding Ukraine Military Aid Amid Warnings About Legality?
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 30, 2020
Congressman Jesús "Chuy" García's Statement on Today's Passage of Legislation to Prevent Unauthorized War with Iran
Rep. Chuy Garcia
Jan. 30, 2020
Schakowsky Statement on House Passage of the "No War Against Iran Act"
Rep. Jan Schakowsky
Jan. 29, 2020
Tweet - "My question for House managers: If President Trump were to actually invoke executive privilege, wouldn't he be required to identify the specific documents or communications containing sensitive material that he seeks to protect?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 29, 2020
Tweet - "In the first day of questioning by Senators, House managers & the President's lawyers debated the meaning of Bolton's and Mulvaney's statements & conflicting accounts of WH meetings. There's one way we can get to the bottom of all these issues -- calling witnesses & key documents."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 29, 2020
Tweet - "Today Senators will begin asking questions of both the House managers & the President's defense team. I look forward to hearing what both sides will have to say. But the elephant in the room remains--we cannot have a full & fair trial without key documents & relevant witnesses."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Durbin Raises Question Of Executive Privilege In Impeachment Trial
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Jan. 29, 2020
Letter to the Hon. Mike Pompeo, Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of State - As Impeachment Focuses on Yovanovitch's Ouster, 22 Democrats Demand Pompeo Explain Steps to Protect U.S. Diplomats
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Jan. 28, 2020
Tweet - "There's a reason the President's defense team hates the notion of allowing witnesses, documents, and evidence to be brought in this trial and before the American people. It's not a real trial without them. Senate Republicans must not be complicit in a cover-up."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 28, 2020
Tweet - "In a nation of 350 million people, the President's defense team decided that Ken Starr was the person to lecture Senators on not abusing the impeachment process? Breathtaking for anyone who remembers the Clinton impeachment proceedings."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 28, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in to @Morning_Joe soon. I'll be joining to discuss the latest in the impeachment trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 28, 2020
Tweet - "It's sad to see GOP Senators talk about using this impeachment trial to hurt Joe Biden politically. If we're measuring the impeachment articles, their veracity, & their truth by the impact they could potentially have on an Iowa caucus voter, then we've failed the American people."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 28, 2020
Tweet - "The only way for the Senate to hold a trial that will be credible across America is to call in witnesses like John Bolton. I don't know what Amb. Bolton will say under oath--no one does. But if we don't have witnesses under oath speaking the truth, then we won't have a fair trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "The reporting about John Bolton blows a hole in the President's defense, and calls into question much of what the President's lawyers told us on Saturday. The easiest way to resolve this dispute would be calling in witnesses like Amb. Bolton."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Today, the President's team's presentation continued to show why key documents & relevant witnesses should be provided -especially John Bolton. If Senators vote to move forward without them, we would be giving the American people a cover up, not a full & fair trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "As we prepare to hear from the President's lawyers this afternoon, the need for access to key documents & relevant witnesses becomes more glaring by the day. We cannot hold a full & fair trial w/out access to all the necessary evidence--especially with so much dispute over facts."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "The President's lawyers are arguing that "Ukraine didn't know" the aid was being held until late August. That is--at best--yet another disputed fact that could be resolved by additional documents & witnesses."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "If we don't hold this President accountable under the rule of law, then he is not answerable to anyone. By blocking key documents & witnesses from Congress, this President is essentially telling the American people they have no right to know what he's doing as their President."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's attorney Mr. Philbin said "Cross-examination in our legal system is regarded as the greatest legal engine ever invented for the discovery of truth." I agree - that's why we need witnesses for this to be a full and fair trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Over the last 3 days, House managers made a compelling & fact-based case. And today, we will begin hearing from the President's lawyers. But one thing remains abundantly clear - we still need access to key documents & relevant witnesses to conduct a full & fair trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "If the President's lawyers are going to spend their time disputing the facts of this case, then Senators must be given access to the key government documents that would help resolve those disputes before making any kind of judgement."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "Differences between our letter & 7/25/19 call between Pres Trump & Zelensky: 1. We publicly released our letter when sent 2. We called on Ukraine's prosecutor general to cooperate w duly authorized Mueller investigation 3. We didn't threaten/condition US aid to Ukraine in any way"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "I don't know how any Senator could hear these disputes over the facts and not want to hear testimony from first-hand witnesses like Mick Mulvaney and John Bolton."
