A key swing-vote Republican senator told reporters she was offended by a claim levied by one of the House impeachment managers that Republicans are engaging in a \u201ccover-up\u201d during the trial against President Donald Trump, and questioned why Democrats didnt go to the courts to obtain more evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took it as very offensive,\u201d Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told local media<\/a> on Jan. 22. \u201cAs one who is listening attentively and working hard to get to a fair process, I was offended.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another interview, Murkowski told CNN<\/a> on Jan. 23 she had concerns about why the House didnt try to seek witnesses or documents in their case by seeking a remedy in the courts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe House made a decision that they didnt want to slow things down by having to go through the courts. And yet now theyre basically saying, \u201cYou guys gotta go through the courts. We didnt, but we need you to,\u201d Murkowski said.<\/p>\n

House Democrats have said they wanted to move forward with their articles of impeachment without waiting for court orders to be handed down because the process could be too long. Trump and the White House have said he has executive privilege and doesnt need to adhere to every subpoena issued by the House.<\/p>\n

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) echoed Murkowskis comments about Nadlers accusation, suggesting it was without precedent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, thats an extraordinary thing to say on the floor of the United States Senate, the middle of the trial, and thats what drew the rebuke, and rightly so,\u201d Hawley told reporters, referring to Chief Justice John Roberts admonishing House manage<\/a>Read More \u2013 Source<\/a>
