Trump's first impeachment - 2020
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., said it's been "abundantly clear" why direct testimony from witnesses in the impeachment trial is critical, as new evidence continues to surface. Crow said former national security adviser John Bolton should be among the several witnesses senators should call to testify. "It's more than insuring a fair trial, it's about remembering that in America, truth matters," Crow said.
After days of arguments posed by the House managers and Trump’s legal team, followed by questions posed by senators, the lawmakers debate and vote on whether they wish to subpoena new witnesses and documents on Friday, Jan. 31. Then the Senate must decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
