Senator Coons' statement on NYT report, Bolton book
Sen. Chris Coons
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 - "We want the facts. We want the truth. Not a cover-up. We need witnesses and documents. Four Senate Republicans can ensure that John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and others with direct knowledge of President Trump's actions testify in a Senate trial."

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia Responds to Supreme Court's Decision to Allow Expansion of Public Charge Rule
Rep. Sylvia Garcia
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "New reports that Amb. Bolton heard directly from POTUS that he wanted to improperly withhold military aid to get Ukraine to interfere in our elections underscore why Senators must call Bolton to testify. If they refuse to hear his testimony, they will be complicit in a cover-up."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
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. 26, 2020
Tweet - "Trump Team Defense Strategy? Plan A - Attack Adam Schiff Plan B - Blame the Process Plan C - Corrupt the Truth Nothing. But. Smoke. And. Mirrors."

CNN "State of the Union" - Transcript: Interview With Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Jan. 26, 2020
Tweet - "The @NYTimes report suggests multiple top Trump Admin officials knew the facts and deliberately misled Congress and the American people. A massive White House cover-up. All we need is four Republican Senators to get the truth."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 26, 2020
House Managers Statement on New York Times Report on John Bolton
Sen. Adam Schiff, ...
Jan. 26, 2020
Tweet - "John Bolton has the evidence. It's up to four Senate Republicans to ensure that John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and the others with direct knowledge of President Trump's actions testify in the Senate trial."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 26, 2020
Tweet - "I think President Trump's lawyers did something yesterday they did not intend: They made a really compelling case for why the Senate should call witnesses and documents."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 25, 2020

Sen. Chuck Grassley
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "The House Managers provided compelling evidence and a powerful, fact-based case that the President abused his power and obstructed Congress. They raised serious questions about why the White House has withheld critical documents and prevented relevant witnesses from testifying."
Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "LTC Vindman is a patriot. He does not deserve these disgraceful attacks for defending the Constitution. The Department of Defense must live up to what they told me, stand up for LTC Vindman, and protect him from reprisals. @EsperDoD should condemn Senator Blackburn's comments."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's lawyers did something they didn't intend: They made a really compelling case for why the Senate should call witnesses and documents."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
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 - "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

Rep. Richard Hudson
Jan. 25, 2020

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "A fair trial means witnesses and documents. #AmericansWantWitnesses"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "I took an oath to do impartial justice & I look forward to the President's lawyers making their case. They need to explain why the White House has withheld critical documents and prevented relevant witnesses from testifying with firsthand knowledge about the President's actions."
Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Jan. 25, 2020
Tweet - "That's the biggest takeaway I have from today. President Trump's lawyers may not have really intended it, but they made our case for witnesses and documents even stronger."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
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. Ladda Duckworth

Sen. John Barrasso
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 - "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

Rep. Eleanor Norton
Jan. 24, 2020
