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.

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.

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.

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 - "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.

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.

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.
