Here are yesterday's highlights from the Senate impeachment trial
The Lev Parnas show arrived on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
Parnas said he’d love to bump into Sen. Lindsey Graham during his visit, and he also said he’d like to see both Trump and Giuliani attend the trial as well, though he’s not holding his breath. Parnas said he hasn’t spoken to Giuliani since he was arrested in October but said he’d urge him to “tell the truth.”
Parnas received his ticket from the office of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer , his home-state senator. —Schumer still ‘hopeful’ Republicans will join Democratic calls for witnesses Democrats have seized on recent reporting from the New York Times that former national security adviser John Bolton claims that Trump told him that he withheld aid from Ukraine because he wanted the country to pursue political investigations against his rivals. So far, only three Republican senators — Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — have suggested they’re open to hearing from Bolton. But a fourth vote remains elusive.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski met privately with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday morning, according to a person familiar with the meeting.
