The 100 members of the Senate have been sitting silently for six days listening to impassioned arguments for and against Trump's removal from office for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. "Don't wait for the book," the California lawmaker told the senators sitting as trial jurors. "This case is overwhelmingly clear without John Bolton but if you have any question about it you can erase all doubt.
Trump, in an early-morning tweet, said Bolton had shown poor judgment in a job he had begged for and he hired the veteran diplomat and prominent " hawk" against the advice of others. The warning was made in a letter to Bolton's lawyer dated January 23 but only made public on Wednesday. Trump called on Republicans to reject a push for witnesses when the issue comes up for a vote on Friday.
