Washington - 7 January 2020
1. Medium tracking Sen. Mark Warner walks up to reporter
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Mark Warner, (D) Virginia:
"I think Mr. Bolton should testify, and again, I hope that Majority Leader McConnell and my Republican colleagues will realize this is a constitutional responsibility. We need to have a full and fair trial. and National Security Adviser Bolton, who I understand has a book in process. It would be pretty remarkable if he published a book months from now that had answers that were relevant to this impeachment proceeding. And he wasn't presented an opportunity to present those facts before we take on this constitutional responsibility."
++BLACK FRAMES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Mark Warner, (D) Virginia:
"My hope again will be that we get a chance to hear from everyone who's got firsthand knowledge. These are individuals that could clear the president. I don't understand why they're not being allowed to present their facts. I find that. I find that very concerning. And this notion that we're going to go through the whole proceeding and then potentially have a chance to then decide whether we call witnesses or not doesn't pass the smell test. Thank you."
4. Senator Warner walks away into room
5. Senator John Cornyn walks up to reporters
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. John Cornyn, (R) Texas:
"I'm not going to tell you how to vote on something that hasn't even arisen yet. I don't know whether Nancy Pelosi is going to send the articles of impeachment over here. She's using this sort of like a Sword of Damocles hanging over the president for whatever purpose that sort of escapes me. So I'll take it as it comes and we'll take it seriously and perform our constitutional duty."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Pat Toomey (R) Pennsylvania:
"(Reporter: Sir What do you think of John Bolton's offer, Senator?)
We'll see." ( Senator Toomey walks away)
++BLACK FRAMES++
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Bob Menendez (D) New Jersey:
"I have never seen a trial without a witness and a handful of critical witnesses, including Mr. Bolton, that could provide and shed a lot of light on some of the critical moments in which aid to Ukraine was being held up for the political purposes of the president, I think would be highly instructive and very important to have. And I hope that the Republican leadership allows witnesses to take place at the end of the day."
++BLACK FRAMES++
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Bob Menendez (D) New Jersey:
"The administration has no strategy. And at the end of the day, what I am deeply concerned about is that a series of tactical actions by the president in the absence of a strategy are in the makings of a tragedy that the president has made. And what's at risk is national security and American lives. And so there is a need for both a pause and for the administration to figure out what its strategy is."
++BLACK FRAMES++
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. John Thune, (R) South Dakota:
"I think the dynamic right now is we don't have articles of impeachment from the house. Hopefully, we'll get those. And when we do, the Senate will move forward. But that's going to require hopefully at least some cooperation from the Democrats. Right now they seem to be intent on playing political games with this but if the House will send it over. And Senator Schumer will agree to sit down with Senator McConnell, we can work out a path forward and we'll see where that leads. But I think at least initially, one of your arguments, I think any decisions about witnesses will probably come later."
++BLACK FRAMES++
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. John Thune, (R) South Dakota:
"In my view, if the House had wanted to, they could have called him and they could still subpoena. So I'm not sure that it's a Senate job, the Senate's job to complete the House's work on the House's record. I think our job is to pass judgment on the articles that they have sent over to us. That's the role that we have constitutionally in the Senate. And we intend to fulfill that responsibility and do our duty. But there will be at some point, I'm sure, a discussion about whether or not witnesses might be called. At some point, it's going to be a decision, whatever 51 senators decide they want to do."
12. Senator Thune walks into room
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Michael Bennet, (D) Colorado:
"The four witnesses we've asked to testify should testify. I think the documents that we've asked for have been brought to the American people. And it's important for us to have an independent and fair trial here. And I think that's what the American people expect. (Reporter: What value would Bolton bring to it?)
I think that he brings the value of having been there when they were discussing the Ukraine deal in the White House."
14. Senator Bennet walks away
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Mitt Romney, (R) Utah:
"The Clinton impeachment process allowed for witnesses to be determined after the opening arguments, I'm comfortable with that process. At this stage, I'd like to hear from John Bolton and other witnesses with the direct information, but that process will accommodate that.
(Reporter: Do you think, do you think the process is going to accommodate...?)
Well, the the the Clinton process allows for a vote on witnesses to occur after the opening arguments."

STORYLINE:
Senators from both parties react to the possibility of calling former White House national security adviser John Bolton as he is "prepared to testify" if he is subpoenaed by the Senate in its impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Bolton made a surprise statement Monday that bolsters congressional Democrats, who are pushing for the Senate to call new witnesses in the trial.
Virginia Senator Mark Warner, who currently sits as Vice-Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus says, "I think Mr. Bolton should testify."
"My hope again will be that we get a chance to hear from everyone who's got firsthand knowledge." "I don't understand why they're not being allowed to present their facts," he said.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has publicly expressed resistance to calling new witnesses.
Democrats want testimony from Bolton and others who didn't appear before the House in its impeachment inquiry.
Republicans hold the Senate with a 53-seat majority, and Democrats would have to find four Republicans to vote with them to issue a subpoena.
Republicans lessen the need of calling Bolton at the trial.
"There will be at some point, I'm sure, a discussion about whether or not witnesses might be called. At some point it's going to be a decision, whatever 51 senators decide they want to do," said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, a member of Republican leadership.
"I think the dynamic right now is we don't have articles of impeachment from the house. Hopefully, we'll get those. And when we do, the Senate will move forward," he said.
Utah Senator Mitt Romney, who wants to hear from John Bolton, says he's also willing to start the impeachment trial and choose and call witnesses later.
"The Clinton impeachment process allowed for witnesses to be determined after the opening arguments, I'm comfortable with that process."
It's unclear whether Bolton's testimony would hurt or help Trump. The two clashed while Bolton was in the White House.
No date for the Senate trial has been set.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement Monday after Bolton's announcement that "momentum for uncovering the truth in a Senate trial continues."
Schumer said that it is "now up to four Senate Republicans to support bringing in Mr. Bolton" and the other witnesses he has proposed, including Mulvaney.
Senators also react to ongoing questions concerning the killing of a top Iranian general and the forward strategy the Trump administration plans for the raised prospect of a wide and unpredictable conflict in the Middle East and escalated tensions between Iran and the U.S.
