Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday continued to press McConnell to include key witnesses and documents in the Senate trial, taking issue with his Republican counterpart’s description of the Democratic requests as “political.”
“If seeking the truth is political, if doing our constitutional duty is political in the minds of our Republican colleagues, then the Republican Party is in trouble,” Schumer said. “History is not kind to political parties that fight to hide the truth. History is not kind to parties that participate in coverups.”
