House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement tonight that Republicans' vote against witnesses and documents "makes them accomplices to the President's cover-up."Here's her complete statement:
The Senate Republicans vote against calling witnesses and compelling documents in the impeachment proceedings makes them accomplices to the Presidents cover-up.
The President was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is impeached forever. There can be no acquittal without a trial. And there is no trial without witnesses, documents and evidence.
It is a sad day for America to see Senator McConnell require the Chief Justice of the United States to preside over a vote which rejected our nations judicial norms, precedents and institutions to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.
