WATCH: Schiff urges senators to seek ‘the whole truth’ about Trump’s actions

Rep. Adam Schiff, the lead House impeachment manager in President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, walked through the whistleblower complaint over the president’s actions to pressure Ukraine to help him in his presidential re-election bid. Continuing a thread from other impeachment managers, Schiff urged that senators call for more documents to shed more light into who was also involved with Trump’s actions or how “broad the scheme was.” “We can, and will, prove President Trump guilty of this conduct and of obstructing the investigation into his misconduct, but you and the American people should know who else was involved in this scheme,” Schiff said, directing his attention to the senators. “You should want the whole truth to come out. You should want to know about every player in this sordid business. It is within your power to do so.”
