Sign this petition re: impeachment trial in the Senate

Sign this petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial. 

Dear fellow MoveOn member,

Mitch McConnell stated this week that he will not allow any direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial against Donald Trump.¹ This is unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is not fulfilling his oath of office as Senate majority leader. He should call all direct witnesses to testify, because Americans have a right to know the truth. 

Mitch McConnell cannot continue to rig the system in favor of a corrupt and bigoted administration.

Will you sign the petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow witnesses to testify in a fair impeachment trial in the Senate?

Sign this petition demanding that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans allow direct witnesses to testify in the Senate impeachment trial. 

The House of Representatives impeaching a sitting president is historic and deserves to be taken seriously by the Senate. Unfortunately, however, Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are falling into their political lines and staying complicit with the greed and corruption of this administration.

If Mitch McConnell continues to stop witnesses from speaking in front of the Senate, he is protecting an administration rife with bribery, obstruction of justice, and corruption.

If this administration has done no wrongdoing, then these direct witnesses will be able to provide President Trump some very much needed exculpatory evidence. If there was no wrongdoing, Republicans, McConnell, and this administration should have nothing to fear from the questioning of first-hand witnesses.

First-hand, direct witnesses should be required to testify in front of the Senate for a fair impeachment trial. The American public has a right to hear the truth.
