Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee have said they are open to witnesses.
“How we will deal with witnesses remains to be seen,” Murkowski said.
Murkowski said she is trying to make sure senators have a “guaranteed opportunity to weigh in at the conclusion” of the trial on whether the chamber needs to hear from more witnesses. The committees subpoenaed Parnas after his arrest in October, when federal authorities seized his phones. Parnas provided the documents, texts and other information from his phones to the committees this week after getting permission from U.S. District Court.
"My colleagues can’t have it both ways. Calling for some, while blocking others," Paul said in a tweet."If we are going to give a platform to witnesses the Dems demand, I look forward to forcing votes to call Hunter Biden and many more!"
