Senate Republicans on Tuesday backed down from proposing new restrictions on evidence and offered a different timetable for both sides to present arguments, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said he wants witnesses to be called.
“The public is understanding how unfair Senator McConnell’s trial rules are and Republican Senators are beginning to tell him to change them. The real test will be if they pressure Senator McConnell to allow witnesses and documents,” Schumer said in a statement following the rule changes that were unveiled by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
