Dispute over calling witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Trump

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell does not appear to have enough votes to block new witnesses from being called in the impeachment trial of President Trump. Joseph Moreno, a former national security prosecutor for the Justice Department, joined CBSN to discuss what kind of role they could play in the trial moving forward.

Witness please. Somethings going on and I want to know and see for myself.

You had time to prepare your case! Wrap it up!

I really pity that poor person that will have to deal with Trump's presidential library.

United States v. Nixon settled the issue of executive privilege in an impeachment case. How many laws and legal precedents are Republican lawmakers going to ignore or outright dismiss in Trump's defense?

Just threaten to call Maxine waters as a witness and they will abandon calling Bolton

Those who support this man care about the same thing he does; caring about only those who look like him.

Whether the Ukrain aid was held up and why is not relevant or what the motive for that was is irrelevant. Whichever way you want to interpret it, IT IS NOT AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENCE according to the Constitution. You must have heard the detailed legal explanation. So why keep on talking about it? IT DOES NOT MATTER.

The whole trial is a relly liberal democratic tragoedia!

If doing what he did was illegal then he's obviously guilty of it!😂

The only way Trump is going to get impeached as if he runs his Rolls-Royce into the back of a truck that's hauling peaches
