Republicans are scared of having fact witnesses called to testify during the Senate impeachment trial, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) alleged.

“Democrats want assurances upfront that this is going to be a fair trial and that you’re going to be able to call witnesses,” Van Hollen said during a Sunday appearance on CBS' “Face the Nation.”
