Tweet - ". @RepAdamSchiff 's performance as leader of the House managers earned him my respect for his mastery of the case, his passion for his cause, and his calmness as he and his team faced the brunt of the personal attacks from President Trump and his followers."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Feb. 2, 2020
Tweet - "Note to editors and producers: please do not refer to the "Senate Impeachment Trial." There were no sworn witnesses, no documents, no evidence, and clearly no trial. Please refer to it as "That Senate Impeachment Thing.""
Sen. Dick Durbin

Statement on Senate Vote to Block Witnesses and Documents
Rep. Jan Schakowsky
Feb. 1, 2020

Rep. Brad Schneider
Jan. 31, 2020
Duckworth Statement on Senate's Failure to Call Witnesses for Impeachment Trial
Sen. Ladda Duckworth
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Today, the Senate received this powerful letter from 100 legal scholars and leading impeachment experts from across the country, pointing out that abuse of power & non-criminal acts are impeachable and "a president may not abuse the powers of his office to secure re-election.""
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans are afraid of a trial and afraid of the truth. Turning the lights off in this impeachment proceeding is an admission by the White House that the President's phone conversation with the President of Ukraine was far from perfect."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "With no witnesses, no evidence, and no sworn testimony to help us get to the truth, you cannot--by any stretch of the imagination--call this a full & fair impeachment trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Senate Republicans are afraid of a trial and afraid of the truth."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "Tune in to @MSNBC soon, I'll be joining @AriMelber to discuss the impeachment trial and the upcoming vote on whether or not the Senate will have relevant witnesses & key documents."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020
Tweet - "After hearing from the House managers & the President's defense team as they made their cases & answered questions from Senators, I remain convinced that getting access to key documents & witnesses is essential to holding a full & fair trail. Anything less would be a cover up."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 31, 2020

Durbin: Why Did President Trump Continue Holding Ukraine Military Aid Amid Warnings About Legality?
Sen. Dick Durbin
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
Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Once again, here are the differences between our letter and the 7/25/19 call between President Trump and Zelensky"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 30, 2020
Tweet - "Sec. Pompeo's stunning silence in the face of threats targeting Amb. Yovanovitch is inexcusable. As the nation's top diplomat, Sec. Pompeo must take seriously the well-being of the men & women who work at the State Dept. I'm joining my colleagues in demanding an investigation."
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. 30, 2020
Tweet - "As Senators prepare for 2nd day of questions, I remain convinced that we must call relevant witnesses like John Bolton. Without hearing from witnesses like Amb. Bolton and Mick Mulvaney, and without having access to key documents, we cannot have a full & fair trial."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 29, 2020
Letter to President Donald Trump - Wyden, Merkley Demand Trump Publicly Commit To Protecting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Jan. 29, 2020

Jan. 29, 2020
Letter to the Hon Neil Chatterjee, Chairman, the Hon. Richard Glick, Commissioner, and the Hon. Bernard McNamee, Commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission - House Democrats Condemn FERC Attack on Clean Energy Economy
Rep. Sean Casten, ...
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 - "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
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. 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 - "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
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 - "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
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 - "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 - "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. 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. 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
Foster Announces Guest for 2020 State of the Union Address
Rep. Bill Foster
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. 25, 2020
Senator Duckworth: "I Would Think That the President's Counsel Would Want to Call Witnesses in Order to Exonerate Him"
Sen. Ladda Duckworth
Jan. 25, 2020
Senator Duckworth: "I Would Think That the President's Counsel Would Want to Call Witnesses in Order to Exonerate Him"
Sen. Ladda Duckworth
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 - "By next week, I hope enough Republican Senators join Democrats to call for witnesses and documents so that this is a real trial. Not just for the Senators who stand in judgment, but for the American people."
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 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 - "I'll be on @CNN soon to discuss the first few days of the impeachment trial as we prepare to hear from the President's lawyers later today. Make sure to tune in."
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."
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 - "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. 24, 2020
Tweet - "As House managers close their presentation today, the American people are watching. The House has made a compelling case, but it won't be a full and fair trial without access to all the key documents & relevant witnesses. The American people deserve the whole truth."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - "I'll be on @maddow shortly to discuss my thoughts on the first few days of the impeachment trial and the House managers presentation. Tune in."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Tonight, the House managers wrapped up their thoughtful, fact-based, compelling case, laying out Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his personal, political gain. I am grateful to them for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - ".@RepAdamSchiff's closing argument last night was powerful. Mr. Schiff is absolutely right--right matters. The truth matters. House managers have presented a compelling case, based on facts & substance. Will 4 Republican Senators stand up for the truth & for a full & fair trial?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "To my Republican colleagues who are complaining that they haven't learned anything new during the House managers presentation: why did you vote--10 times in fact--against allowing key evidence & relevant witnesses into the impeachment trial?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "For 9.5 hours today, House managers presented a compelling & fact-based case, laying out Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections & put self above country. The need to have a fair trial w/key documents & relevant witnesses becomes clearer by the day."

Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "As the House managers continue making their case today, it will only get harder for Republican Senators to ignore the facts & keep enabling Sen. McConnell's effort to cover for the President. The American people want & deserve a fair trial. Let's give them one."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "Great to host mayors from all across Illinois in Washington this morning. Our government works best when we work together, and @SenDuckworth and I are committed to supporting Illinois mayors in any way we can here in our nation's capital."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "We need witnesses, evidence, and documents if we're going to have a real trial in the Senate."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "For 8.5 hours today, House managers started making their thorough, fact-based case about Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his own personal, political gain. Their presentation was compelling & demonstrates why we need key docs & witnesses."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "My Republican colleagues should understand that if there aren't witnesses, documents, or evidence, then there's no trial. It would instead be an effort to make this impeachment go away for President Trump so he can triumphantly enter the House chamber for the State of the Union."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Ten years ago this week, the #CitizensUnited decision opened the floodgates for special interests and dark money to take hold of our democracy. It's time to return political power back where it belongs--in the hands of the American people."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "This weekend I was glad to join @RepDannyDavis at Galilee Missionary Gospel Church on Chicago's west side to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King and discuss important topics such as criminal justice reform and the #2020Census."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Later today, the Senate will begin hearing presentations from the House impeachment managers. The American people deserve a fair & credible trial. So far, Senate Republicans have voted against allowing evidence and witnesses. Unless 4 Rs change their votes, it'll be a cover-up."

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."

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 - "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 - "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. 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. 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."

Rep.Bill Foster
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."

Senator Duckworth: "I Would Think That the President's Counsel Would Want to Call Witnesses in Order to Exonerate Him"
Sen.Ladda Duckworth
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 - "By next week, I hope enough Republican Senators join Democrats to call for witnesses and documents so that this is a real trial. Not just for the Senators who stand in judgment, but for the American people."
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 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 - "I'll be on @CNN soon to discuss the first few days of the impeachment trial as we prepare to hear from the President's lawyers later today. Make sure to tune in."
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."
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 - "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. 24, 2020
Tweet - "As House managers close their presentation today, the American people are watching. The House has made a compelling case, but it won't be a full and fair trial without access to all the key documents & relevant witnesses. The American people deserve the whole truth."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - "I'll be on @maddow shortly to discuss my thoughts on the first few days of the impeachment trial and the House managers presentation. Tune in."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - "Tonight, the House managers wrapped up their thoughtful, fact-based, compelling case, laying out Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his personal, political gain. I am grateful to them for their hard work, dedication, and professionalism."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 24, 2020
Tweet - ".@RepAdamSchiff's closing argument last night was powerful. Mr. Schiff is absolutely right--right matters. The truth matters. House managers have presented a compelling case, based on facts & substance. Will 4 Republican Senators stand up for the truth & for a full & fair trial?"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "To my Republican colleagues who are complaining that they haven't learned anything new during the House managers presentation: why did you vote--10 times in fact--against allowing key evidence & relevant witnesses into the impeachment trial?"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "For 9.5 hours today, House managers presented a compelling & fact-based case, laying out Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections & put self above country. The need to have a fair trial w/key documents & relevant witnesses becomes clearer by the day."

Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "As the House managers continue making their case today, it will only get harder for Republican Senators to ignore the facts & keep enabling Sen. McConnell's effort to cover for the President. The American people want & deserve a fair trial. Let's give them one."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 23, 2020
Tweet - "Great to host mayors from all across Illinois in Washington this morning. Our government works best when we work together, and @SenDuckworth and I are committed to supporting Illinois mayors in any way we can here in our nation's capital."

Tweet - "We need witnesses, evidence, and documents if we're going to have a real trial in the Senate."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "For 8.5 hours today, House managers started making their thorough, fact-based case about Pres. Trump's scheme to solicit foreign interference in our elections for his own personal, political gain. Their presentation was compelling & demonstrates why we need key docs & witnesses."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "My Republican colleagues should understand that if there aren't witnesses, documents, or evidence, then there's no trial. It would instead be an effort to make this impeachment go away for President Trump so he can triumphantly enter the House chamber for the State of the Union."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Ten years ago this week, the #CitizensUnited decision opened the floodgates for special interests and dark money to take hold of our democracy. It's time to return political power back where it belongs--in the hands of the American people."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "This weekend I was glad to join @RepDannyDavis at Galilee Missionary Gospel Church on Chicago's west side to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. King and discuss important topics such as criminal justice reform and the #2020Census."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Jan. 22, 2020
Tweet - "Later today, the Senate will begin hearing presentations from the House impeachment managers. The American people deserve a fair & credible trial. So far, Senate Republicans have voted against allowing evidence and witnesses. Unless 4 Rs change their votes, it'll be a cover-up."
