ABC News reports:
Lead Manager Jamie Raskin has said the prosecution wants to subpoena Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Republican who witnessed a call between House minority leader Kevin McCarthy and Donald Trump on the day of the insurrection. News of this call broke last night, after the defense had rested their case.
Raskin said he would limit Beutler’s testimony to one hour, and it could be conducted over Zoom and replayed to the chamber. Trump’s defens lawyer Michael Van der Veen said that limiting the witness testimony to one individual would “handcuff” his case. He said he’d want to call “hundreds” of people to testify.
Van der Veen is so dishonest, self-pitying & unhinged the GOP may have already found their next nominee.

Isn’t it a bit odd that these liberal news reports about impeachment, just like what happened during #BrettKavanaugh – which prove to be unreliable – always come out right before we are set to vote?
