Republican senator has told Fox News that GOP members should make their opposition to the proceedings heard, which he says are a 'threat to the presidency.'
that"due process requires the ability of every American to call witnesses on their behalf, except for President Trump," adding that"this couldn't happen in a parking ticket case." He said,"What's happening in the House is basically un-American."
He told Hannity:"No American, including Donald Trump, should be accused of misdeeds without confronting their accuser, which is the whistleblower, and no American should be denied the ability to tell their side of the story by calling witnesses to explain their defense. That's being denied the President of the United States."
He said that he wanted his colleagues in the Senate to"step up and say what is going on in the house is unfair, un-American, we're not going to bless it. I would like Republicans to say, 'this is a bunch of garbage.'"Legal experts have dismissed claims that the inquiry violates due process because Adam Schiff, who heads the House Intelligence Committee, is not legally obliged to allow Trump's lawyers or witnesses at this stage.
