Democrats have been pressing for the Senate to subpoena Bolton, who was fired by Trump in September.

Trump's lawyers launched a concerted attack on the Bidens as they sought to defend the president's actions.

Democrats detailed Trump's illicit scheme to pressure Ukraine to help his 2020 reelection campaign.

The prosecutors played old videos in which two of the president's closest defenders said that abuse of power is a clear impeachable offense.
