Senate Democratic Leader Says Subpoenas Would Receive "Very Prompt Judicial Review"

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer dismisses the argument being made by some Republicans that if President Trump evokes executive privilege it would significantly prolong the Senate impeachment trial, calling the argument "flimsy." Senator Schumer says that executive privilege cannot be invoked for someone like John Bolton who has said he is willing to testify. He also says that any subpoenas, which he expects would be bipartisan and signed by Chief Justice Roberts, would be given "very prompt judicial review given the urgency and the stakes of an impeachment trial." close
