26:01Now PlayingSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will try to force a vote on whether to call witnesses in Trump’s Senate impeachment trial shortly after it gets underway next week.
Democrats want to call acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, former National Security Advisor John Bolton and two other White House officials, and also are seeking documents the White House has withheld, Schumer said.
“You can’t have a fair trial if you don’t get all the evidence,” he said.
Schumer said disclosures this week by Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas raised many “serious questions.” He also cited Thursday’s report by the Government Accountability Office that said the White House violated federal law by withholding military aid from Ukraine that had been appropriated by Congress.
The impeachment charges themselves can’t be changed, Schumer said, but he said information related to Parnas and the GAO may be included in House Democrats’ trial briefs.
