In other words: republicans can request testimony from specific witnesses, but democrats will still have the ability to block them.https://twitter.com/nancycordes/status/1189258970864721925 …

"The ranking minority member may submit to the chair, in writing, any requests for witness testimony" and "is authorized, with the concurrence of the chair, to require...the attendance and testimony of any person". If the chair says no, ranking member can ask for cmte vote.

Unlike many House republicans, @senatemajldr does not view the House inquiry as "illegitimate": "Impeachment, as a practical matter, is whatever a majority of the House decides it is at any given moment. And it appears that the democrats...have been on this path for three years."

Only way to save yourselves now is to crank up the latest @KIDZBOP album and hope for the besthttps://twitter.com/weijia/status/1189187445104893955 …

Asked about Lt Col Vindman’s claim that the president put personal politics over national security in his call with President Zelensky, @GOPLeader says: “I thank him for his service”...”but he is wrong in this case”

A couple weeks ago, @realDonaldTrump said that @senatemajldr told him that his call w/President Zelensky was “perfect” and “innocent”. But when I asked McConnell about that just now, he said he never spoke to the President about it. So was Trump lying? “You’d have to ask him.”

Ambassador Bill Taylor just entered the Capitol for his deposition. He did not take questions from reporters on the way in.

I asked @RepMcCaul if it was appropriate for @realDonaldTrump to ask Ukraine to investigate a campaign rival. "I think that’s a question, you know, other people may have done this differently. We know the president was worried about corruption in the Ukraine..."

(2/2) @GOPLeader: “Is it different if I go and stay or eat at a Marriott here or eat at the Trump (Hotel)? The President isn’t asking me to. He’s competing in a private enterprise.“

I asked @GOPLeader if the US Govt should spend $$ at Trump-owned resorts, esp when POTUS isn’t there: “The President’s resorts are hotels that he owns. If people are travelling, it’s just like any other hotel...I don’t know that’s different than anything else.” (1/2)

Most congressional offices do not pay their interns. @SenatorTimScott does, because "it's well worth it. The interns are typically as smart, if not more smart, than most members of Congress, to be honest with you. Me included!" #realtalk @CBSThisMorning @C2C_DC @pkcapitol

At an enrollment ceremony for the budget bill, multiple reporters asked @SpeakerPelosi if her view on an impeachment inquiry has changed now that abt half of her caucus supports it. As is her practice at these photo ops, she did not answer. We may not get to ask again until Sept.

Coming up on @CBSThisMorning — some 8000 interns come to Capitol Hill every year. Most of them are unpaid, which puts this key stepping stone out of reach for many promising low income students. Meet the dynamic young woman who is working to change that. @C2C_DC @AudreyHensonC2C
