Schumer backtracks: Senate impeachment witness list 'would get the votes'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer defended his claim that Republican members would support the witnesses Democrats want to subpoena to a Senate impeachment trial of President Trump.

“I have seen a whole lot of Republicans either say they’re taking this seriously or not answering the exact question as to whether these witnesses should testify a whole lot,” Schumer told reporters when asked about the proposal for witnesses that Democrats want, which he sent to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
