Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said on Dec. 19 he believes the Senate does not need to hear from any witnesses before voting to whether to acquit President Donald Trump or convict and remove him from office in a 2020 Senate trial.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Mornings With Maria,” on Thursday, Grassley, the second-highest-ranking official in the Senate, responded to news of the House of Representatives voting on Dec. 18 to impeach Trump on two articles of impeachment.
