Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is calling on President Trump to testify as part of the House’s impeachment inquiry in the wake of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) offering to let him speak with the panel.
“Speaker Pelosi invited President Trump to come testify, and I think her invitation is correct. If Donald Trump doesn’t agree with what he’s hearing, doesn’t like what he’s hearing, he shouldn’t tweet — he should come to the committee and testify under oath. And he should allow all those around him to come to the committee and testify under oath,” Schumer said on Sunday during a press conference in New York.
“When Donald Trump refuses to come to the committee, now that Speaker Pelosi has invited him, when he doesn’t let all the people around him come before the committee, you gotta to ask the question: what is he hiding? Why is he afraid to confront what these people have said?” he added.
Pelosi raised the issue of Trump testifying before the panel during an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation,” which aired on Sunday.
“The president could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants — if he wants to take the oath of office or he could do it in writing,” she said. “He has every opportunity to present his case.”

Good for them! They are right. Trump needs to stop hiding behind his cellphone where he doesn’t have to be under oath. Let’s see if he wants to perjure himself.
