During an interview with MSNBC during their coverage of the Senate's impeachment trial on Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that while he is "far from" certain Senate Democrats will be able to get witnesses introduced in the Senate's impeachment trial, he believes that there is "a chance" they will succeed in getting witnesses if they keep pushing, and if they don't succeed, "it will make the value of an acquittal zero. And so, either way, there's a good outcome."
