Democrats offered a list of witnesses they want to testify at the president's impeachment trial in the Senate, but the Republican leadership immediately rejected the idea.
This quickly brought the question, if he's innocent, as he claims, why is he hiding witnesses who might help prove that?
But they would appear before Congress and under oath, observers point out, and if they fail to tell the truth, they would be subject to punishment.
So the issue becomes this: If the truth would clear the president of wrongdoing, they should testify, but if the truth incriminates him, he would be convicted and removed from office.
Therefore, what is the truth, and why is he preventing witnesses from his own staff from testifying? Unless, of course, the truth would convict him. And that would be reason enough to prevent them from testifying.
