Trump wants this trial over with immediately. Mitch must feel the pressure?
It seems like something big is about to happen, perhaps with John Bolton?
Trump and his flunkies are making very loud noises about Hunter Biden testifying. Do they really want him to testify or is it just a big bluff? What they really want is no witnesses. They don't want Bolton and they don't want Mulvaney. Although Trump feels Mulvaney will lie and cover up for him. He is not so sure about Bolton?
Maybe Bolton has agreed to do a cable television interview? And the Trump White House has heard about it? That would explain the panic in their comments and actions.
Who are Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz working for? Aren't they supposed to be representing the people that put them in the Senate? Or are they working for Donald Trump?
There's a sense of unease in the White House. They are fearful that some Senators may break ranks and vote for witnesses? The White House doesn't want witnesses, not even Hunter Biden.

(29,729 posts)Russia deposited it and trump took it out.
edited to add: He took it out as loans from the bank
Has that story been verified?
