Senator Schumer Plans to Push War Powers Resolution Vote, Reiterates Call for Impeachment Trial Witnesses

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer expresses concerns about President Trump's Iran strategy following the killing of that country's top general, Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. air strike near Baghdad airport in Iraq. "The American people need clarity that the Trump administration has a plan. Not just a tweet," Senator Schumer says. He also says he plans to bring a privileged war powers resolution to the floor and force a vote on it. Turning to the impasse over calling witnesses in the upcoming impeachment trial of the president, the Democratic leader pledges "votes on each of the four witnesses we proposed." close
