Feb 2021

- House Managers were not allowed, by rule, to call for witnesses before Saturday morning

- Ahead of time, Sen Schumer said they could call witnesses if they wished.

- The House Managers decided to call witnesses

- The Senate voted to call that witness

- Senate Democrats put pressure on the House Managers to make a deal instead. (Of course Republican Senators also did not want witnesses). Pressure came at least from Coons and Manchin.

- House Managers made the deal to only enter the public statement into the record

- The Trump lawyer stated the public statement was not true
