Giuliani says ‘would testify’ in Trump’s impeachment trial in US Senate
US President Donald Trump’s personal attorney has expressed willingness to testify in the upcoming Senate trial, expected to be held in the wake of his impeachment in the US House of Representatives.
After arriving at a New Year’s Eve party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Rudy Giuliani told reporters that he “would testify.”
He made the comment in the wake of the Republican Party’s refusal to call any of the witnesses the Democrats have said they would want to see testify.
Giuliani has been at the center of the impeachment proceedings against Trump but the Senate top Democrat, Charles Schumer, also wants acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, Michael Duffey, a senior official in the Office of Management and Budget, and Robert Blair, assistant to the president and senior adviser to Mulvaney, to also testify.
Republican Senator Susan Collins also said Monday that she is "open to witnesses."
“I think it's premature to decide who should be called until we see the evidence that is presented and get the answers to the questions that we senators can submit through the Chief Justice to both sides," said the moderate Republican from the US state of Maine.
The US president is accused of pressuring Kiev to find dirt on Joe Biden, the Democratic frontrunner in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
After the House voted to impeach Trump last year, he is expected to be acquitted in the upcoming trial by the Republican-majority Senate.
