WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer on Monday outlined the kinds of documents he would like to have introduced as evidence in the upcoming impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, including emails and other communications held by the White House and State Department.
The Republican president was charged with abuse of power and obstructing Congress’ investigation. He has said he did nothing wrong. Schumer also listed email communications related to “several occasions” in which National Security Council officials “reported their concerns to the NSC legal advisor about the decision to delay” almost $400 million in U.S. security assistance to Ukraine.
