Behind-the-scenes details here about talks:

-- It was truly a last-minute decision to call witnesses after House Dems debated until 3am whether to call witnesses
- It was ultimately a huge risk, they concluded. A deal to submit statement was safer route

cnn.com/2021/02/13/pol…
Democrats believed that pushing forward with Herrera Beutler testimony would add little beyond her statement and could potentially cost them GOP support, while dragging out the proceedings further.
Democrats were uncertain how Herrera Beutler's testimony would come across after she was subject to cross examination, with some concerns that she could potentially undercut their case if there were holes in her account, sources said

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

GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who was elected to his Senate seat in part because of Trump's strong support in his Alabama bid, told me this when asked if he’d support Trump in four years if he ran again. "I'm not going to do that. We won't go that far. A little hypothetical there."
Tuberville also declined to say if Rudy Giuliani and Trump made a mistake by trying to call him after the Jan. 6 riot to get him to object to more states' results.

"I'm not answering that one," he told me.
Tuberville did vote to throw out the PA and AZ electoral results -- but said he had no regrets.

"I learned a lot of the time, you made a lot of bad calls or good calls in football -- you don't look back. You make it at that time, and you own it. Same thing I'll do with this one”

Several GOP senators make clear they view the footage as chilling and are shaken by what they saw - but are singaling they won’t change their plans to vote to acquit

“Same way that I was before,” Sen. Mike Braun told me when asked if he was shaken.
Braun added: “When you think the process is flawed in the first place,” it’s hard to vote to convict.

“Who wouldn’t be” shaken? said Sen. Ron Johnson. But he added that he blames the rioters - not Trump.
Sen. John Cornyn, usually very talkative, told me: “I’ve got nothing for you now.”

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who is likely to convict, said “that the evidence that was presented thus far is pretty damning.”

Romney, sitting in the chamber just now, was stoic and didn't move when the Senate was shown this video showing Officer Goodman saving him from the mob
Romney just told reporters “no” he didn’t know he was this close to the mob until just now
Romney and Officer Goodman were speaking just before they started back up, per reporters in the gallery
