GOP Sen.: 'Facts of the case remain the same'

(27 Jan 2020) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus130040 Pressure is increasing on senators to call John Bolton to testify at President Donald Trump's impeachment trial after the revelation that a draft of a book by the former national security adviser undercuts a key defense argument - that Trump never tied withholding military aid to Ukraine to his demand the country help investigate political rival Joe Biden. But several GOP senators who met privately with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said nothing had changed “There's nothing new here to what the House managers have been saying,” said Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, the No. 3 Republican. He dismissed the new information as an “effort to sell books.” Before any vote on witnesses, Trump's legal team was to make its case in depth on Monday, turning to several high-profile attorneys to argue against impeachment. The team laid out the broad outlines of its defense in a rare Saturday session, at which they accused House Democrats of using the impeachment case to try to undo the results of the last presidential election and drive Trump from office. Four Republicans would have to break ranks to join Democrats to call any witnesses, which would extend the trial, which has been expected to conclude fairly rapidly. The Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority.
