Politician
Jan. 3, 2020

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 3, 2020
Tweet - "The President's unilateral action places our country at greater risk with no evidence of a strategy. His failure to even consult Congress--entrusted by the Constitution to authorize military force--is alarming. Congress must uphold our responsibility to protect national security."
Rep. Jim Clyburn

Rep. Nancy Pelosi
Jan. 2, 2020

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 2, 2020

Jan. 2, 2020
Tweet - "Senator McConnell: This new evidence raises questions that can only be answered by having the key Trump administration officials--Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton, Michael Duffey, and Robert Blair--testify under oath in a Senate trial."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
Jan. 2, 2020
Tweet - "That Michael Duffey said there was "clear direction from POTUS to continue to hold' only further implicates President Trump. It underscores the need for the Senate to subpoena the witnesses and documents we've requested at the onset of a Senate trial."

Dec. 30, 2019
Tweet - "So far, neither Senator McConnell nor any Republican Senator has articulated a single good reason why the trial shouldn't have the witnesses or the documents we requested. The American people deserve to know the truth."

Sen. Chuck Schumer
Dec. 30, 2019
