Toomey says Senate trial should be fair, mum on witnesses

(AP) Pennsylvania's Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey said Jan. 16 the Senate should conduct a fair impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, but he gave no indication of whether he would support calling witnesses. Toomey also has not said how he will vote on the two articles of impeachment sent over by the House. Toomey has previously said he didn't think Trump committed an impeachable offense when he pushed Ukraine's president in a July telephone conversation to "look into" Democratic rival Joe Biden, but said the conversation was "inappropriate." Toomey has never been among Trump's biggest supporters. He did not campaign with Trump in the 2016 election and has not appeared at Trump's rallies in Pennsylvania since then.
