Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday challenged four Senate Republicans to join Democrats in calling for witnesses at a Senate impeachment trial, saying to do otherwise would be"participating in a cover-up."
Among the Republicans Democrats are targeting are Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who has said she is"open to witnesses," although later in a trial. "My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, your constituents and the voice of history is watching. You will be required to vote on whether we have a fair trial with witnesses and with documents or you will say I'm running away from the facts, I'm scared of the facts or go for a cover-up," Schumer said.
"He doesn’t want a fair trial," Schumer said."He wants a quick and sham trial. Now, it’s up to every senator – every other senator – every senator will have a say – which of the two of us wins out? Will we have a fair trial or a coverup?”
