In an appearance on Fox Sunday Morning Futures, Sen. Ted Cruz told Maria Bartiromo that if Democrats get their wish to hear from witnesses at the Senate impeachment trial, the trial could go from lasting 1-2 weeks to up to a months-long affair!
“I think it’s certainly possible that this trial could last one to two weeks. On the other hand, if the Senate makes the decision to go down the road of additional witnesses, that could extend it to six to eight weeks or even longer,” warned Cruz.
However, Cruz went on to push the idea of a rule of reciprocity in the trial, which he best explained as,
“If the prosecution gets a witness, the defense gets a witness. If the prosecution gets two, the defense gets two. If the prosecution gets to call John Bolton, the prosecution gets to call Hunter Biden.”
He added that this should make Democrats scared, singling out Hunter Biden,
“The Democrats are terrified about seeing a witness like Hunter Biden testify because they don’t want to hear evidence of actual corruption.”
