Trump impeachment trial curveball: Senate wants to hear from witnesses
Fox News
Former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial got an unexpected extension as senators voted Saturday morning to open the door to witnesses in light of new reporting overnight on Trump's state of mind during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
The surprise vote on witnesses shook Washington and seemed to even catch senators off guard. "Finally, something unscripted!" marveled Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., after the vote and subsequent hubbub about what happens next. The request for witnesses came from lead impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who cited the "breaking news" overnight about details of a heated phone call that Trump had with GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy during the Capitol attack.More Related News
