Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"}},"breakingNewsReducer":{},"campaignFinanceReducer":{},"firebase":{"requesting":{},"requested":{},"timestamps":{},"data":{},"ordered":{},"auth":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"authError":null,"profile":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"listeners":{"byId":{},"allIds":[]},"isInitializing":false,"errors":[]},"navBarReducer":{"navBarId":"news","fullView":true,"showPlayer":false},"navMenuReducer":{"menus":[{"key":"menu1","items":[{"name":"News","link":"/","type":"title"},{"name":"Politics","link":"/politics"},{"name":"Science","link":"/science"},{"name":"Education","link":"/educationnews"},{"name":"Housing","link":"/housing"},{"name":"Immigration","link":"/immigration"},{"name":"Criminal Justice","link":"/criminaljustice"},{"name":"Silicon Valley","link":"/siliconvalley"},{"name":"Forum","link":"/forum"},{"name":"The California Report","link":"/californiareport"}]},{"key":"menu2","items":[{"name":"Arts & Culture","link":"/arts","type":"title"},{"name":"Critics’ Picks","link":"/thedolist"},{"name":"Cultural Commentary","link":"/artscommentary"},{"name":"Food & Drink","link":"/food"},{"name":"Bay Area Hip-Hop","link":"/bayareahiphop"},{"name":"Rebel Girls","link":"/rebelgirls"},{"name":"Arts Video","link":"/artsvideos"}]},{"key":"menu3","items":[{"name":"Podcasts","link":"/podcasts","type":"title"},{"name":"Bay Curious","link":"/podcasts/baycurious"},{"name":"Rightnowish","link":"/podcasts/rightnowish"},{"name":"The Bay","link":"/podcasts/thebay"},{"name":"On Our Watch","link":"/podcasts/onourwatch"},{"name":"Mindshift","link":"/podcasts/mindshift"},{"name":"Consider This","link":"/podcasts/considerthis"},{"name":"Political Breakdown","link":"/podcasts/politicalbreakdown"}]},{"key":"menu4","items":[{"name":"Live Radio","link":"/radio","type":"title"},{"name":"TV","link":"/tv","type":"title"},{"name":"Events","link":"/events","type":"title"},{"name":"For Educators","link":"/education","type":"title"},{"name":"Support KQED","link":"/support","type":"title"},{"name":"About","link":"/about","type":"title"},{"name":"Help Center","link":"https://kqed-helpcenter.kqed.org/s","type":"title"}]}]},"pagesReducer":{},"postsReducer":{"stream_live":{"type":"live","id":"stream_live","audioUrl":"https://streams.kqed.org/kqedradio","title":"Live Stream","excerpt":"Live Stream information currently unavailable.","link":"/radio","featImg":"","label":{"name":"KQED Live","link":"/"}},"stream_kqedNewscast":{"type":"posts","id":"stream_kqedNewscast","audioUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/newscast.mp3?_=1","title":"KQED Newscast","featImg":"","label":{"name":"88.5 FM","link":"/"}},"news_11977423":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11977423","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11977423","score":null,"sort":[1709150559000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"mitch-mcconnell-will-step-down-as-senate-minority-leader-in-november","title":"Mitch McConnell Will Step Down as Senate Minority Leader in November","publishDate":1709150559,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Mitch McConnell Will Step Down as Senate Minority Leader in November | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":253,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell will step down as Republican leader in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, R-Kentucky, announced his plans in an emotional speech on the Senate floor shortly after aides confirmed his plans to reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate,” McConnell said, his voice cracking. “I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, however.

That cannot be true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The formal proceedings on Capitol Hill, in which senators from both parties submitted written questions to House managers prosecuting the case as well as Trump's defense lawyers, commenced as news emerged from the White House that the National Security Council told John Bolton, its former chief, \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6745122-Letter.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in a letter \u003c/a>that the manuscript for his upcoming book \"appears to contain significant amounts of classified information\" that needs to be excised before the book can be published.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFd3ZuChl0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is being contested by Bolton's lawyer, Charles Cooper, who on Wednesday released an email he sent last week to the National Security Council in which he asserted that nothing in Bolton's book \"could reasonably be considered classified.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper said the National Security Council never responded to the email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That manuscript, which reportedly contains dozens of pages on Trump's dealing with Ukraine, has loomed over this week's Senate impeachment trial sessions. That is because the book purportedly says Trump told Bolton that military assistance to Ukraine would be released only after Ukraine opened investigations into Trump's Democratic rivals — the allegation at the heart of Trump's impeachment and the proceedings in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first question Wednesday came from Susan Collins, Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, three Republican senators who have signaled they may support a vote to hear from witnesses. They asked the president's defense lawyers how the Senate should weigh impeachment if Trump had more than one motive for his conduct. The question — like all others — were submitted to U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the trial, who read them aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Patrick Philbin responded that \"once you're in mixed-motive land, once it is established that there is a legitimate public interest that could justify looking into something, just asking a question about something, the managers' case fails.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first question from the Democratic side was whether the Senate could render a verdict without hearing from key witnesses, such as Bolton and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798694\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11798694\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ap_20028771507033_custom-4043677bf5f30d2ff0afeb0e0dc942461cef616b-e1580312519783.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Democratic impeachment manager Rep.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked whether it mattered legally if Trump sought a quid pro quo from Ukraine's leader. Trump's attorney Alan Dershowitz responded with a broad view of executive powers, arguing that \"if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But later, Schiff said: \"All quid pro quos are not the same.

It's an uphill fight. Is it more likely than not? Probably no. But is it a decent good chance? Yes.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a definite shift in activity in the chamber Wednesday. Senate pages ran question cards and notes back and forth — in addition to their usual duties of running water and mail to senators' desks. Senators were also much more engaged in the question-and-answer portion. Dozens had question cards on their desks, took notes or prepared questions. Many watched the speaker at the lectern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The session, which was scheduled to last eight hours on Wednesday, will continue for a further eight on Thursday. This stage in the proceedings comes a day after the president's legal team rested in its defense of Trump. Democratic House managers made their case last week on why the president should be removed from office. Trump was impeached last month on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those watching the session Wednesday was Joseph Bondy, the attorney for Lev Parnas, a former associate of Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Bondy was in the Senate gallery as a guest of Schumer. Parnas, who has been indicted in New York for alleged campaign finance violations, wasn't in the gallery because he has to wear a GPS monitoring device as part of his pretrial release. Bondy declined to say where Parnas would watch the proceedings from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798798\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11798798\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ap_20029605326106_custom-812c1ad9fedca5e815fa848f78438444dbbd77d9-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ap_20029605326106_custom-812c1ad9fedca5e815fa848f78438444dbbd77d9-s800-c85.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ap_20029605326106_custom-812c1ad9fedca5e815fa848f78438444dbbd77d9-s800-c85-160x106.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lev Parnas, a Rudy Giuliani associate with ties to Ukraine, collects his belongings after going through a security checkpoint during the impeachment trial of President Trump on Wednesday. \u003ccite>(Patrick Semansky/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The two days of Senate questions set the stage for a Friday vote on whether to allow witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I hope we can get witnesses and documents,\" Schumer told reporters during a break in the questioning. \"It's an uphill fight.

That is because the book purportedly says Trump told Bolton that military assistance to Ukraine would be released only after Ukraine opened investigations into Trump's Democratic rivals — the allegation at the heart of Trump's impeachment and the proceedings in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first question Wednesday came from Susan Collins, Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, three Republican senators who have signaled they may support a vote to hear from witnesses. They asked the president's defense lawyers how the Senate should weigh impeachment if Trump had more than one motive for his conduct. The question — like all others — were submitted to U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the trial, who read them aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney Patrick Philbin responded that \"once you're in mixed-motive land, once it is established that there is a legitimate public interest that could justify looking into something, just asking a question about something, the managers' case fails.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first question from the Democratic side was whether the Senate could render a verdict without hearing from key witnesses, such as Bolton and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798694\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11798694\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/ap_20028771507033_custom-4043677bf5f30d2ff0afeb0e0dc942461cef616b-e1580312519783.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Democratic impeachment manager Rep.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked whether it mattered legally if Trump sought a quid pro quo from Ukraine's leader. Trump's attorney Alan Dershowitz responded with a broad view of executive powers, arguing that \"if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But later, Schiff said: \"All quid pro quos are not the same.

They knew they were creating an enormously powerful executive, and they knew they needed to constrain it,\" Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump is not removed from office, Schiff argued during his opening remarks, the president's actions \"will permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government—inviting future presidents to operate as if they are also beyond the reach of accountability, congressional oversight and the law,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize that there will be times during the trial that you may long to return to the business of the Senate,\" Schiff said. \"The American people look forward to the same. But not before you decide what kind of democracy you believe we ought to be and what the American people have a right to expect in the conduct of their president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Trump's acquittal is all but certain, since Democrats do not have the votes to convict, both sides continue to spar over the production of evidence, and additional witness testimony, that the White House has blocked investigators from reviewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A two-thirds vote (67 votes) is required to convict the president, meaning Democrats would need 20 GOP senators to defy Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in order to call additional witnesses, like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Democrats only need four Republicans to join them, yet there are no indications right now they will be able to convince any GOP Senators to break with their leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Schiff on Wednesday made the case for evidence to be brought into the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, notes from first-hand witnesses who listened in on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 25 call\u003c/a> between Trump and the Ukrainian president would help further establish the take-away from the call, perhaps resolve disputes over whether the \"favor\" Trump sought was part of a quid-pro-quo scheme, Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In any courtroom in America holding a fair trial, you would want to see contemporaneous notes. This Senate should be no different. Demand those notes. Demand to see the truth,\" he argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Davos, Switzerland, where Trump was attending the World Economic Forum meeting, Trump re-emphasized his view that the impeachment case against him is a \"hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's so bad for the country,\" he said, adding: \"I'd love to go to the trial, sit in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jay Sekulow, President Trump's private attorney and part of Trump's impeachment defense team told reporters Wednesday that the president's legal team would not support Trump showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His counsel might recommend against that,\" he said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sekulow said Trump's defense will come in two parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to respond of course to what the House managers put forward. And we're going to make an affirmative case defending the president,\" Sekulow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president, who has said he is open to hearing from witnesses in the Senate trial, said Wednesday that that decision was ultimately up to the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Personally, I'd rather go the long route,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrapping up his lengthy opening statement, Schiff said: \"We all, Democrats and Republicans alike, must ask ourselves whether our loyalty is to our party or whether it is to our Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>as he met with reporters just before heading to the Senate, Schiff said the managers \"will lay out all the facts and chronology,\" in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe we will make an overwhelming case for the president's conviction on both Article 1 and Article 2,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff threw cold water on reports of a deal to allow Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, to testify in return for a witness Democrats want to hear from, saying this is not \"some fantasy football trade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That stance was echoed later in the day by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who said a witness trade is \"off the table.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Biden campaigned on Wednesday, a voter in Osage, Iowa, asked the presidential candidate if he would appear before the Senate, and Biden flatly ruled it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason I would not make the deal, the bottom line is, this is a constitutional issue,\" he said. \"We're not going to turn it into a farce or political theater. I want no part of that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"impeachment\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Schiff completed his argument, other House managers laid out their case against Trump in the Senate chamber. The charged that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine in order to pressure that country's president to open an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say that Trump obstructed Congress by refusing to turn over documents or to allow witnesses to testify in their investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The managers showed video clips from the House impeachment hearings, from Fox News interviews with presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani and of the president himself, including one during the 2016 campaign, when he invited Russia — \"if you're listening\" — to find Hillary Clinton's emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats also continued to call for witnesses to appear before the Senate, including former national security adviser John Bolton. That issue was at the core of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/21/797320215/senate-impeachment-trial-begins-with-fight-over-rules\">debate over the trial ground rules\u003c/a> on Tuesday — a fight that stretched to nearly 2 a.m. ET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump also cited \"national security\" for why he has reservations about testimony from some witnesses Democrats are seeking, such as Bolton. Trump said that Bolton knows too much about his personal conversations with other world leaders and that revealing them in any testimony could hurt the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know if we left on the best of terms, probably not, and you don't want someone testifying who didn't leave on the best of terms,\" Trump said of Bolton, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/724363700/trump-fires-john-bolton-in-final-break-after-months-of-policy-divisions\">who was fired in September\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is still possible but unclear whether the Senate will hear witnesses after the two sides have made their opening arguments. A number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/21/798317525/trump-impeachment-trial-recap-republicans-balk-at-mcconnell-over-session-rules\">GOP senators have expressed support\u003c/a> for hearing from some witnesses. It would take four Republican senators voting with the 47-member Democratic caucus to call for witnesses. But that would likely not happen until next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, told reporters the hours of presentations and argument by House Democrats left him unmoved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't hear anything new. At all. We were here all day yesterday for about 13 hours.

But if they could show the courage, so could we.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial will resume at 1 p.m. on Thursday.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/1auW9m_Oxbs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/1auW9m_Oxbs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Schiff recalled the nation's founders who devised of impeachment as way to check an executive who abused the office for personal gain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They knew what it was like to like under a despot, and they risked their lives to be free of it. They knew they were creating an enormously powerful executive, and they knew they needed to constrain it,\" Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump is not removed from office, Schiff argued during his opening remarks, the president's actions \"will permanently alter the balance of power among the branches of government—inviting future presidents to operate as if they are also beyond the reach of accountability, congressional oversight and the law,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I recognize that there will be times during the trial that you may long to return to the business of the Senate,\" Schiff said. \"The American people look forward to the same. But not before you decide what kind of democracy you believe we ought to be and what the American people have a right to expect in the conduct of their president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Trump's acquittal is all but certain, since Democrats do not have the votes to convict, both sides continue to spar over the production of evidence, and additional witness testimony, that the White House has blocked investigators from reviewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A two-thirds vote (67 votes) is required to convict the president, meaning Democrats would need 20 GOP senators to defy Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in order to call additional witnesses, like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Democrats only need four Republicans to join them, yet there are no indications right now they will be able to convince any GOP Senators to break with their leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Schiff on Wednesday made the case for evidence to be brought into the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, notes from first-hand witnesses who listened in on the \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 25 call\u003c/a> between Trump and the Ukrainian president would help further establish the take-away from the call, perhaps resolve disputes over whether the \"favor\" Trump sought was part of a quid-pro-quo scheme, Schiff said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In any courtroom in America holding a fair trial, you would want to see contemporaneous notes. This Senate should be no different. Demand those notes. Demand to see the truth,\" he argued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Davos, Switzerland, where Trump was attending the World Economic Forum meeting, Trump re-emphasized his view that the impeachment case against him is a \"hoax.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's so bad for the country,\" he said, adding: \"I'd love to go to the trial, sit in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jay Sekulow, President Trump's private attorney and part of Trump's impeachment defense team told reporters Wednesday that the president's legal team would not support Trump showing up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His counsel might recommend against that,\" he said with a laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sekulow said Trump's defense will come in two parts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to respond of course to what the House managers put forward. And we're going to make an affirmative case defending the president,\" Sekulow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president, who has said he is open to hearing from witnesses in the Senate trial, said Wednesday that that decision was ultimately up to the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Personally, I'd rather go the long route,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wrapping up his lengthy opening statement, Schiff said: \"We all, Democrats and Republicans alike, must ask ourselves whether our loyalty is to our party or whether it is to our Constitution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>as he met with reporters just before heading to the Senate, Schiff said the managers \"will lay out all the facts and chronology,\" in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe we will make an overwhelming case for the president's conviction on both Article 1 and Article 2,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff threw cold water on reports of a deal to allow Hunter Biden, son of former Vice President Joe Biden, to testify in return for a witness Democrats want to hear from, saying this is not \"some fantasy football trade.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That stance was echoed later in the day by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who said a witness trade is \"off the table.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Biden campaigned on Wednesday, a voter in Osage, Iowa, asked the presidential candidate if he would appear before the Senate, and Biden flatly ruled it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The reason I would not make the deal, the bottom line is, this is a constitutional issue,\" he said. \"We're not going to turn it into a farce or political theater. I want no part of that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"impeachment","label":"related coverage "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Schiff completed his argument, other House managers laid out their case against Trump in the Senate chamber. The charged that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine in order to pressure that country's president to open an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say that Trump obstructed Congress by refusing to turn over documents or to allow witnesses to testify in their investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The managers showed video clips from the House impeachment hearings, from Fox News interviews with presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani and of the president himself, including one during the 2016 campaign, when he invited Russia — \"if you're listening\" — to find Hillary Clinton's emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats also continued to call for witnesses to appear before the Senate, including former national security adviser John Bolton. That issue was at the core of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/21/797320215/senate-impeachment-trial-begins-with-fight-over-rules\">debate over the trial ground rules\u003c/a> on Tuesday — a fight that stretched to nearly 2 a.m. ET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump also cited \"national security\" for why he has reservations about testimony from some witnesses Democrats are seeking, such as Bolton. Trump said that Bolton knows too much about his personal conversations with other world leaders and that revealing them in any testimony could hurt the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know if we left on the best of terms, probably not, and you don't want someone testifying who didn't leave on the best of terms,\" Trump said of Bolton, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/724363700/trump-fires-john-bolton-in-final-break-after-months-of-policy-divisions\">who was fired in September\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is still possible but unclear whether the Senate will hear witnesses after the two sides have made their opening arguments. A number of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/21/798317525/trump-impeachment-trial-recap-republicans-balk-at-mcconnell-over-session-rules\">GOP senators have expressed support\u003c/a> for hearing from some witnesses. It would take four Republican senators voting with the 47-member Democratic caucus to call for witnesses. But that would likely not happen until next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, told reporters the hours of presentations and argument by House Democrats left him unmoved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't hear anything new. At all. We were here all day yesterday for about 13 hours. No new material presented,\" Barrasso said. \"It still seems to me that this was an effort by the Democrats in a very partisan way to bring a case against President Trump because they weren't happy with the results of the 2016 election.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"contributors-text\">\u003cem>NPR's Brakkton Booker contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.
