.@SenSchumer says he's going to offer a "series of amendments" to McConnell's resolution today.
First, an amendment authorizing subpoenas for withheld White House records about Trump's calls and meetings with Zelensky as well as records on why U.S. aid to Ukraine was held. /1

@SenSchumer Secondly, Schumer says he will offer amendments to subpoena testimony from John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, Robert Blair and Michael Duffey.
Lastly, he vows to introduce amendments to "fix" the McConnell resolution's "most egregious departures" from the format of Clinton's trial. /2

@SenSchumer Schumer declines to say exactly how many amendments Dems are going to offer, but notes they won't be "dilatory" and have "a hundred amendments." /3
@SenSchumer At least four Republicans need to break ranks for any of these amendments to be adopted.
That appears unlikely, as McConnell's resolution allows for a later vote on new evidence. The GOP members who want witnesses have previously said they're willing to wait until then. /4
