House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff says he'd like for some witnesses to be called during the expected Senate impeachment trial against President Trump and for withheld administration documents to be introduced as evidence
"I think there are any number of witnesses that should be called in the Senate trial, and many witnesses the American people would like to hear from that the administration has refused to make available," Schiff told ABC's"This Week.""And perhaps of equal and if not greater importance are the thousands and thousands of documents that the administration refuses to turn over. I would hope that every senator of both parties would like to see the documentary evidence.
"So far Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer have not started discussions about the outlines of the rules that will govern a trial."McConnell has voiced his support for a shorter impeachment trial. "My hope is that it will be a shorter process rather than a lengthy process," McConnell told Fox News on Thursday. He made clear, however, that those decisions would be made"in total coordination with the White House counsel.
