Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) announced on Friday that she opposes calling for new witnesses and documents in President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial which effectively ends Democrats’ hopes of prolonging the trial.
“I worked for a fair, honest, and transparent process, modeled after the Clinton trial, to provide ample time for both sides to present their cases, ask thoughtful questions, and determine whether we need more,” Murkowski said in a statement. “The House chose to send articles of impeachment that are rushed and flawed. I carefully considered the need for additional witnesses and documents , to cure the shortcoming, but ultimately decided that I will vote against considering motions to subpoena.”
