Senators began the week focusing on 'ordinary business,' as lawmakers failed to break an impasse over President Trump's impeachment trial rules
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton, said on Monday he is willing to testify in the expected Senate impeachment trial of the president, a surprise development that could complicate a weeks-long dispute over how the trial would play out.
House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi - the top Democrat in Congress - has yet to send the House-approved articles of impeachment to the Senate, putting a hold on any schedule for a trial. The Democratic-led House has charged Trump with abusing his power for personal gain by asking Ukraine to announce a corruption investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic nomination to face Trump in November’s presidential election.
Bolton’s lawyer said during the investigation that Bolton had information about meetings and discussions that had not yet been made public. McConnell, who Pelosi accuses of working to protect the president, said on Friday a trial cannot begin until the charges are formally sent to the chamber.
