Pelosi: Republican senators are "accomplices to the President's cover-up" [View all]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement tonight that Republicans' vote against witnesses and documents "makes them accomplices to the President's cover-up."

Here's her complete statement:

“The Senate Republicans’ vote against calling witnesses and compelling documents in the impeachment proceedings makes them accomplices to the President’s cover-up.
“The President was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is impeached forever. There can be no acquittal without a trial. And there is no trial without witnesses, documents and evidence.

“It is a sad day for America to see Senator McConnell require the Chief Justice of the United States to preside over a vote which rejected our nation’s judicial norms, precedents and institutions to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.”
