As we reported earlier, House impeachment managers wanted to call witnesses. But then when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he would first call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), ask what did she know and when did she know it and start delving into all the facts that disproved their case, the Senate Democrats had a talk with the House managers and told them to back off and agree to a deal to no witnesses to get in the statement that they wanted.
So what was it they didn’t want people to delve into and have Americans know?

The new barrier in front of the Capitol is proving to be more than just an eyesore. According to D.C. Council Chair Phil Mendelson, the fence, which was installed after the deadly riots in the Capitol building on January 6, is preventing D.C. lawmakers from delivering their bills to Congress. Staff are reportedly not being allowed to pass the fencing. Congress has to give the final say on D.C. legislation.
“We have to be able to deliver our bills to Congress.” -CM Mendelson
