After Republicans voted down an amendment requiring the Senate to call witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) claimed on Jan. 22 that Republicans are engaging in a “charade.”
Holding a press conference less than 10 hours after the Senate completed the first day of the trial, which went into the early hours of Wednesday, Schumer highlighted how the GOP voted down an amendment by Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) that would require witnesses to be called during the trial.
