If the Senate decides to consider new impeachment trial witnesses and documents next week, Sen. Josh Hawley plans to try and force votes on everyone from Adam Schiff to Joe Biden
.
If the witness vote succeeds, Hawley aims to force votes on subpoenas for House Intelligence Chairman Schiff , Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden, Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, the still-unnamed whistleblower who reported Trump's July call with the Ukrainian president and a reported acquaintance of the whistleblower's.
Democrats already forced votes to subpoena acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, and documents related to the administration's decision-making on aid to Ukraine earlier this week, all of which failed on party lines. Democrats say that the Bidens aren't relevant to the investigation.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said this week he'd rather request an outside counsel investigation in the Bidens than see Congress subpoena them.
