Over the past week, Senate Republicans have signaled that there may be no witnesses during the Senate impeachment trial, contrary to suggestions of the Trump administration, in a move that drew blowback from some House Republicans.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told reporters on Friday that “I sure hope” the Republican-controlled Senate will “clean this mess up” during a trial to exonerate President Donald Trump. The “country needs to hear what a farce this was,” he said of the House Democrat-led process, adding that the “Senate promised for months now they would have witnesses.”
