'[Senators] have control over the proceedings,' Schiff said. 'And they could have insisted on witnesses and documents and for whatever reason, chose not to.'
House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff said in an interview on Sunday that the House of Representatives"proved [its] case" when it impeached President Donald Trump, and that the onus was on the Senate to determine whether or not Trump's subsequent trial was conducted fairly.on CBS News'Host Margaret Brennan asked Schiff is there were anything he would have done differently.
"Look, there's nothing that I can see that we could have done differently because as the senators have already admitted, we proved our case," Schiff said in response."We proved our case. Now, the president's lawyers have said time and again, I think, hoping through sheer repetition to make something true that is in fact untrue, that the process in this impeachment was different than in Nixon and Clinton.
"In fact, the president had the same due process rights, which he did not avail himself of in this process as in the prior ones. That is not an excuse that should be used by any senator for not fulfilling their obligation to hold a fair trial. They're not spectators. They have control over the proceedings. And they could have insisted on witnesses and documents and for whatever reason, chose not to.
