Schumer shoots down GOP proposal to swap Bolton-for-Biden testimony trade
By Alexander Bolton - 01/28/20 11:44 AM EST
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday shot down a proposal being floated by moderate Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) to set up a witness trade that would allow both former national security adviser John Bolton and Hunter Biden to testify at the impeachment trial.
“There’s always a diversion. Hunter Biden has nothing to do with the facts of this trial,†Schumer said.
Schumer made clear he has no interest in a one-for-one swap of witness testimony, calling proposals to bring former Vice President Joe Biden or his son to testify before the Senate.
