a statement released Friday by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., in which she relayed a conversation she said the House GOP leader had with Trump, to be entered into the trial record.
House impeachment managers defended that choice on Sunday, arguing that continuing the trial with witnesses wouldn't have been strategically advantageous.
"We have no regrets," lead House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told NBC's
Meet the Press.
"We left it totally out there on the floor of the U.S. Senate, and every senator knew exactly what happened." He added: "We could have had a thousand witnesses but that could not have overcome the kinds of silly arguments that people like McConnell and Capito were hanging their hats on."
