SOT, Chuck Schumer, US Senate Minority Leader: "President [Donald] Trump and Ambassador [John] Bolton said diametrically opposed things. Only one of them is willing to testify under oath. Who do you believe? When only Bolton is willing to testify under oath and Trump isn't, who's right? Who do we think is right? Who do most Republicans think is right, in their minds?"

SOT, Chuck Schumer, US Senate Minority Leader: "President Trump is so obsessed with Joe Biden and Hunter Biden that he's willing to risk our elections and our national security to go after him and now the President and his lawyers are willing to risk the solemnity and purpose of an impeachment trial to go after him."

SOT, Jack Reed, US Senator from Rhode Island: "President Trump could make the actual written record available today if he wanted to, but he hasn't. Why? Why keep a perfect call record locked away in the most top-secret, classified file in the world. If President Trump really wants Americans to 'read the transcript', all he has to do is release them. And look, the written record of this call is not the only key document, but it's the one he keeps telling everyone to read."

SOT, Chuck Schumer, US Senate Minority Leader: "I heard a proposal that recently came from two Republicans, I think this morning, Langford and Graham. That we get the manuscript and read it in the skip in secret. How, what an absurd proposal. It's a book. There's no need for it to be read in the script unless you want to hide something. To what extent are some of our Republican colleagues going to twist themselves an entire pretzel to avoid the truth. Our view is simple. We want four witnesses, four documents. The Republicans can call who they want. They have the ability. They have the majority. We want these witnesses and these documents, because we want the truth."
M/S Journalists *CUTAWAY*
SOT, Debbie Stabenow, US Senator from Michigan: "If four people, four Republican senators stand with us, we will know, we will know from those directly in the room, directly on the emails, directly in conversations with the president, exactly what happened. So that's the test. So the question is: do they want to hear the truth or do they want to hide the truth?"

SCRIPT
Democratic House Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said US President Donald Trump was "obsessed" with his political rival Joe Biden.
"He's willing to risk our elections and our national security to go after him, [...] his lawyers are willing to risk the solemnity and purpose of an impeachment trial to go after him," Schumer said at the press conference flanked by fellow senators.
Schumer then challenged the White House to let John Bolton testify at the impeachment trial.
"We want four witnesses, four documents. The Republicans can call who they want. They have the ability. They have the majority. We want these witnesses and these documents, because we want the truth," stated Schumer.
"President Trump and Ambassador Bolton said diametrically opposed things. Only one of them is willing to testify under oath. Who do you believe?"
Senator Jack Read called on Trump to release the transcript of the July 25 phone call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy which constituted the grounds for his impeachment. "If President Trump really wants Americans to 'read the transcript', all he has to do is release them," Reed said.
Trump is facing impeachment over charges of abuse of power as well as obstruction of Congress, but with a Republican majority in the Senate and a super-majority required for a conviction, the president looks set to remain in office.
