(3/3) A lot of you have reached out to me in the past few days, and you overwhelmingly support witnesses and documents. We cannot be afraid of the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

(2/3) I have a lot of questions, but first among them is this: why are the President’s lawyers opposed to witnesses and documents? Why would the Senate not want John Bolton to testify under oath? Why would we oppose asking Mick Mulvaney to tell us what he knows? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

(1/3) At the end of day #7, we have finished hearing the presentations from the President’s lawyers. For the next two days, senators will have an opportunity to ask questions of the House Managers and the President’s lawyers. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for having me on @AprilDRyan. https://t.co/nAmb7MPSU2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith

Agreed. Bolton communicated with the President directly—if this trial is going to be fair, we need to hear what he had to say. https://t.co/xQn3PYqBdd — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow the President’s counsel will take up their presentation. I’ll let you know my impressions. In the meantime, thinking of questions I want answers to, & I continue to hope we will hear from witnesses & see documents that will allow us to know the truth. Which is our right. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m working long hours, so Archie is coming to the Capitol and my colleague Senator Pat Leahy has offered his historic Capitol Hill office for a brief celebration. Thank you Pat, and happy birthday Archie. — PolitiTweet.org

Day #4, & I’m providing just a short note today because I’m taking my dinner break—30 minutes!—to celebrate my husband Archie’s 65th birthday. I’m usually in Washington without Archie, so it’s a real treat to have him here. — PolitiTweet.org
