Like @RepJasonCrow said-this delay mattered. For Ukraine, in the midst of a war, any delay mattered." Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 30, 2020 Tweet - "The argument Prof. Dershowitz made yesterday would set a dangerous precedent for Presidential power. If we accept that a President's personal/political interests are equal to our national interest, then it may well become impossible for Congress to hold any President accountable." 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. Ladda Duckworth, ...

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 Durbin Raises Question Of Executive Privilege In Impeachment Trial Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
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 - "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.

Jan. 28, 2020 Congressman Krishnamoorthi Responds To Supreme Court Decision To Lift Injunction On Trump Administration's "Public Charge" Rule Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
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 - "Pres. Trump's agenda is clear: get #SCOTUS to uphold illegal repeal of #DACA so he can deport young immigrants who grew up in this country. The House has passed legislation giving #Dreamers a path to citizenship but Sen. McConnell won't give it a vote. The cruelty is the point." Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 28, 2020 Tweet - "Indefinite family detention is harmful to children & parents, inconsistent with our nation's values, & doesn't make us safer. I joined more than 100 Senate & House Dems in filing a brief in Flores v. Barr with the 9th Circuit to stand against Trump Admin's immoral policy." 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 - "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. 28, 2020 Durbin, Duckworth, Bicameral Congressional Leaders Call On Ninth Circuit To Uphold Protections For Migrant Children In Flores Amicus Brief Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
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. 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 - "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 - "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
