I’m hearing there’s been a debate brewing among Dems about calling witnesses who could shed any light into Trump’s thinking during the riot. It’s unclear where they landed. Witnesses had not been expected. Will see if anything changed. Should know more when Senate opens at 10aET
Democratic senators said Chuck Schumer signaled to them he doesn’t know if House Dems will ask for witnesses.
“We were told just a few minutes ago we don’t know,” Ben Cardin told me. Cardin said he would be fine with witnesses but doesn’t think they’re necessary.

A person familiar with Trump team strategy told me that if Dems seek witnesses, Trump’s legal team will try to call Pelosi and Bowser.
They would need 51 votes to subpoena the witnesses.
Dem managers have refused to comment this morning about witnesses

House Dems are “seriously considering” witnesses, Sen. Jack Reed told me but he doesn’t know where they will end up. We should have a better sense when the Senate opens up
