Impeachment Trial: Watch LIVE Senate Impeachment trial of President Donald Trump day one Schumer proposes a new amendment to subpoena documents from the State Department related to calls between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskiy. There will be another two hours of debate on that amendment. McConnell says he will move to table that amendment as well. Patrick Philbin, one of the lawyers on President Trump's defense team, pushes back on the Democrats' argument that the White House refused to cooperate with the inquiry. He says the White House did respond to subpoena requests with a letter laying out why it saw the subpoenas were invalid - primarily that the House had not voted to authorize an official impeachment inquiry. "All of those subpoenas were invalid," he says. "And that was explained to the House, to manager Schiff and the other chairman of the committees at the time in that October 18th letter. Did the House take any steps to remedy that? Did they try to dispute that? Did they go to court? Did they do anything to resolve that problem? No." After Philbin finishes, Schiff speaks again. "Let's get this trial started, shall we?" Schiff says in response to the president's lawyers' claim that Democrats are pushing for more evidence because the House's case isn't strong enough.
