"Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., says that while he believes President Trump has acted inappropriately, he does not need to hear from witnesses in Trump's impeachment trial.
Alexander was among a key group of Republicans whom Democrats hoped to convince to join them in their effort to call witnesses.
"I don't need to hear any more evidence to decide that the president did what he's charged with doing," Alexander told NPR's Steve Inskeep on Friday. "So if you've got eight witnesses saying that you left the scene of an accident, you don't need nine.”
Alexander announced on Thursday night that he will not vote to call witnesses, all but assuring the trial will end without senators hearing additional testimony.
"I agree he did something inappropriate, but I don't agree he did anything akin to treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. I think there's a big gap there," Alexander told NPR. "
