Waiting on a group of Senate Dems to address the media on the #ImpeachmentTrial moving forward- it’s now highly unlikely they find enough Republican votes to allow witnesses to testify #impeachment #NexstarDC

Schumer “it’s deeply disturbing...they vote against hearing additional evidence.” #NexstarDC

Schumer stresses while Lamar Alexander says he’ll vote no on witnesses, he did acknowledge he President Trump acted inappropriately w/respect to Ukraine #Impeachment #NexstarDC

“The presidents acquittal will be meaningless because it will be the result of a sham trial.” -Schumer on trial w/out witnesses #impeachment #NexstarDC

“Trials should have evidence...now all signs point to a rushed acquittal...Senate republicans are about to make a terrible choice.” -Senator @PattyMurray #impeachment

“You cannot have a true acquittal if you do not have a fair trial.” -Sen. @KamalaHarris #Impeachment #ImpeachmentTrial #NexstarDC

Sen. Schumer calls the president “nasty and vindictive”, says he goes after anyone who disagrees with him. Says it was an uphill battle for Dems from the beginning on #impeachment #ImpeachmentTrial #nexstarDC

House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke to us earlier this week about #Witnesses during the #ImpeachmentTrial -says calling for more witness testimony isn't the job of the Senate #Impeachment #NexstarDC @KGETnews @GOPLeader

@KGETnews @GOPLeader And that's a wrap on this phase of the Senate #ImpeachmentTrial -waiting to hear what comes next, what the format will look like for the next few days, and WHEN we'll get a vote on #Witnesses and #Impeachment Vote #NexstarDC

@KGETnews @GOPLeader Dem. Senators begin to react as they realize there will be NO WITNESSES in the #ImpeachmentTrial of President Trump #Impeachment #NexstarDC
