Sen. Murkowski was offended by House manager Rep. Nadler's assertion that Republican senators would be involved in a cover-up if they did not agree to call John Bolton to testify in the impeachment trial, an aide says.
Sen. Liza Murkowski, R-Alaska, said she was"offended" by House manager Jerry Nadler's comments this week that Republican senators would be involved in a cover-up if they did not agree to call former national security adviser John Bolton to testify in the impeachment trial, one of her aides said Thursday.
Other moderate senators also weighed in Thursday on Nadler's late-night remark on the Senate floor, which drew a pointed response from White House counsel Pat Cipollone, prompting Chief Justice John Roberts to admonish the two. Another Republican senator who has expressed willingness to call witnesses, Mitt Romney of Utah, said, “I won’t speak to the process until the entire thing is done.”Trump and team feeling 'huge frustration' over wait for floor rebuttalSo what's the president's status this morning?
"What are the Republicans saying after yesterday? Well, the same Republicans are saying that they heard nothing new," Schumer said at a press conference."But these Republicans voted nine times on Tuesday against amendments to ensure new witnesses and new documents to come before the Senate."
