After Explosive Bolton Revelations, Charles Booker Heightens Calls for McConnell to Allow Witnesses and New Evidence in Senate Impeachment Trial

Press Release

On the morning after explosive revelations confirmed Trump withheld aid to Ukraine in order to pressure that country to investigate his political rivals, U.S. Senate candidate and state Representative Charles Booker is demanding Sen. Mitch McConnell allow witnesses and new evidence in the Senate Impeachment trial.

"Mitch McConnell has the power to either respect our Constitution and the rule of law, or to bring shame upon our country through a sham coverup," Booker said. "It is utterly unpatriotic for Mitch to not bring witnesses and new evidence into the Senate impeachment trial after reading what Bolton has put in his book."

The fact that McConnell has not already set rules allowing for witnesses in the trial is exactly the reason Booker feels compelled to run against him.

"This isn't about Republicans or Democrats; it's about justice. Yet, you wouldn't know that from watching Mitch. Mitch always puts his partisan vendettas over the needs of Kentuckians, and our country."
