Given the revelation around McCarthy and now this from Pence camp reportedly accusing of Trump’s lawyers of lying - not calling witnesses is no longer a tenable position for Democrats in Congress ↘️

"if you have something to add here, now would be the time." Yes @HerreraBeutler + now would be the time to call key witnesses to testify before the impeachment trial. What did Trump know and when did he know it? And, how did he respond to the pleas for help? @FSFP #CallWitnesses

Republicans spent $7.8 million and over two and a half years on the Benghazi hearings to find nothing. Democrats can take a few more days to call witnesses to get testimony about Trump's state of mind during a bloody attempted coup he incited.

This is MAJOR news that House Republicans are speaking on the record tonight about Trump's state of mind while the insurrection was happening. They want to be heard! They want to tell the truth! The trial is not over - call them as witnesses!

Damning new facts show Trump may have known Pence's life was in danger when Trump attacked Pence during the insurrection. Democrats simply must call witnesses. If Trump knowingly pointed this loaded gun at Pence, we need to know the full story. New piece: washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Democrats have one big weapon left against Trump. Will they use it?

Trump may have intended physical harm to Mike Pence. We need to nail that down.

The idea that witnesses should be subpoenaed — which was compelling enough given that this is supposed to be a trial — has become even more so in light of the report about McCarthy’s plea to Trump on Jan. 6.
