Senate Republicans to meet Tuesday afternoon on witness question
By Alexander Bolton - 01/28/20 01:40 PM EST
Senate Republicans will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon after President Trump’s legal team finishes its opening arguments to hash out their strategy on how to handle the tricky question of subpoenaing additional witnesses and documents.
Two Senate Republican sources confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has called the meeting to get his GOP colleagues on the same page as phase one of the impeachment trial nears its end.
Under the trial’s organizing resolution, which McConnell drafted, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions of the House managers and the president’s lawyers before voting on whether it should be in order to subpoena additional witnesses, such as former national security adviser John Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
