Trump aides are delivering a stern warning to Republican senators: Make a wrong move and your spring could be ruined by the stain of impeachment
The White House is delivering a stern warning to Republican senators: Make a wrong move and your spring could be ruined by the stain of impeachment.
The White House is telling senators that if they don’t resist the call for witnesses, the proceedings could “turn it into a full-fledged trial with multiple witnesses on both sides and drawn out legal battles on evidentiary issues and privilege,” said a Republican close to the White House. That “could drag things out for months“ and become “tough on all incumbents up for reelection.”
As Trump’s defense team concluded its opening statements Tuesday, the White House sent talking points to surrogates, lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides emphasizing the need for a swift verdict to “return to the work of the American people.” “Professor Dershowitz made it very clear last night even if everything that came out in the New York Times article were true, there would not be an impeachable offense and I think the basic principle remains that it is not the role of the Senate now to begin taking new witnesses when the House didn’t even seek a subpoena,” an official on the president’s legal team told reporters. “That would fundamentally change the relationship between the House and Senate in this kind of proceeding.
