Following a break in the Senate impeachment trial, Senate Republicans spoke to reporters about the President's legal team's presentation. Senators agreed that the defense team's presentation of information about Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and his role on the Burisma board undermined the House manager's case against President Trump.
Several House members of President Trump's defense team told reporters it was unnecessary to call former National Security Adviser John Bolton as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) argued the manuscript of Mr. Bolton's upcoming book was leaked to, "manipulate the thinking of my Republican colleagues in the Senate."
Speaking to reporters, House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) pushed back against President Trump's legal team's presentation on Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and his role on the Burisma board. Rep. Schiff also advocated for former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify as a witness before the Senate impeachment trial.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Democratic senators held a news conference on the last day of opening arguments for President Trump's defense team in the Senate impeachment trial. Sen. Schumer told reporters that the president was "obsessed" with former Vice President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, and later addressed questions on former National Security Adviser John Bolton's revelations in a book manuscript and the need for the witnesses to be called during the impeachment trial.
