This amendment does not in any way limit the evidence the president may introduced during his trial. He should be able to defend himself against the charges against him as every defendant has the right to do around the country.

The public should see that supplemental testimony as well.

There's a reason why we are here from five till midnight. That's because they don't want the American people to see what's going on here. They're hoping people are asleep.

House managers are not afraid of the evidence, whatever it may be. We want an open process designed to get to the truth no matter whether it helps or hurts our case.

President Trump is personally responsibility for depriving the senate of information important to consider in this trial.

Complete and total presidential obstruction is unprecedented in American history.

President Trump cannot function as judge, jury and executioner of our democracy.

You've testified that Mulvaney was aware of this quid pro quo of this condition that the Ukrainians had to meet that is announcing these public investigations to get the White House meetings, is that right?

This is America, no one is above the law.

President Trump's complete and total obstruction makes Richard Nixon look like a choir boy.

The president cannot insulate himself from Congress' investigations of his wrongdoing.

Witnesses matter. Documents matter. Evidence matters. The truth matters.

If he can't be indicted and he can't be impeached, and he can't be removed, then he can't be held accountable.

Let's get real, how can blocking witnesses from telling the truth about the President's misconduct help preserve the Office of the Presidency?

The resolution would allow the president to cherry pick documents he has refused to produce to the House and attempt to admit them into evidence here. That would enable the president to use his obstruction not only as a shield to his…

For this President, they're going to destroy what America stands for in the world? They're going to countenance, holding up aid, or meetings, or whatever, to get help in the next election campaign? They're going to normalize that…

This President believes he is above the law, beyond accountability. And, in my view, there is nothing more dangerous than an unethical President who believes they are above the law.

What made this a necessity for me, and so many of my colleagues, is that if the President believes that he can abuse his Office, the power of that Office, he can fail to defend our national security, and there is no accountability, even if…

a fair trial in the Senate cannot take place without them.

It is my pleasure to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Brown). {time} 1815

I am happy to remind my colleagues of Ambassador Sondland's testimony. He posed the question: Was there a quid pro quo? The answer is yes. When he was asked about a quid pro quo involving the military aid, he said it was as clear as two…

Just a quick fact-check before I yield to the gentleman from Massachusetts. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle claim that no Republican witnesses were allowed to testify. That is, of course, not correct. In the Intelligence…

I think, when the history of this time is written, it will record that, when my colleagues found that they lacked the courage to stand up to this unethical President, they consoled themselves by attacking those who did. Madam Speaker, I…

My colleagues continue to make the argument that the Ukrainians got the money. Yes, the President got caught, but they got the money. No harm, no foul. It is the equivalent of saying that if you are pulled over by a cop and you attempt to…

I didn't think I would have to do another fact-check so quickly, but, of course, there was no preapproved witness list. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Meeks).
