Rep. Paul Tonko

Rep. Steny Hoyer
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "John Bolton's testimony would to go to the heart of this trial - abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Every Senate impeachment trial in our nation's history has included witnesses and this Senate trial should be no different."
Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Jan. 27, 2020
Foster Announces Guest for 2020 State of the Union Address
Rep. Bill Foster
Jan. 27, 2020

Sen. John Cornyn
Jan. 27, 2020

Sen. Ted Cruz
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "Three years after the Trump Admin launched its outrageous Muslim travel ban, reports indicate the Admin is preparing to expand this dangerous policy. Democrats will continue to stand up against Trump's efforts to dishonor our proud immigrant heritage."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi
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 - "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."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Jan. 27, 2020

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump's lawyers just keep making the case for witnesses and documents. What was the number one fact that Ken Starr emphasized? We are a court. Who ever heard of a court proceeding without witnesses and documents?"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
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."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 27, 2020
Tweet - "We have a witness--Bolton--with firsthand evidence of President Trump's actions. He is willing to testify. How can @SenateGOP not vote to call him & his documents? 4 Senate Republicans can ensure Bolton, Mulvaney, & others with direct knowledge of the president's actions testify"
Sen. Chuck Schumer
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

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

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 25, 2020
