WASHINGTON - U.S. Democrats on Thursday vowed to keep fighting to hear witnesses at President Donald Trump’s pending impeachment trial in the Republican-controlled Senate, even as their drive to exact a guarantee ahead of the proceedings appeared futile.
Schumer, who needs only four of the 100-seat Senate’s 53 Republicans to join Democrats on the witness question, could succeed by pressuring vulnerable Republicans such as Senator Susan Collins and Senator Cory Gardner, who face re-election challenges in swing states in November. The timing of Trump’s Senate trial remained up in the air, as House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wants first to see Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell’s trial plan before sending the impeachment articles to the Senate.
McConnell told other Republican lawmakers he expects to get the articles as soon as Friday, which would set up a trial for next week, according to a source familiar with the discussion. The House also charged him with obstructing Congress by directing administration officials and agencies not to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry.
