Schumer Says McConnell Is ‘Hiding the Truth’ by Rejecting Request for Witnesses

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "We must get the truth. And Leader McConnell is hiding the truth. You know what the American people are asking in reference to Gayle’s question? What is the president hiding? What is Leader McConnell hiding? If they don’t want these witnesses who are directly dispositive on the case to come before us."
HOST: "Mitch McConnell has accused you of not meeting with him and negotiating through the press. You’ve certainly been on TV a lot lately. When do you plan to meet with him, and what do you hope to get out of it?"
SCHUMER: "Well, two weeks ago — Mitch McConnell again has twisted the truth -- two weeks ago I said, I’m ready to meet whenever you are. He hasn’t asked. Instead, he’s done several things long before I went public. He went on 'Sean Hannity,' not a very private act, and said he is going to take orders from the president. He issued his own plan to his Republican caucus and publicly. So of course we countered with the public plan. But people should judge what we’re asking for on the merits. And the merits have no good argument against having witnesses and documents. Name one. Why don’t you folks name me one. I haven’t heard one from a single Republican. You can’t."
