Washington (WBAP/KLIF) Texas Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is predicting the impeachment trial could last as long as eight weeks if witnesses are allowed to testify. Cruz told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, “I think it’s certainly possible that this trial could last one to two weeks. On the other hand, if the Senate makes the decision to go down the road of additional witnesses, that could extend it to six to eight weeks or even longer.” Cruz also said if witnesses are allowed, rules of reciprocity should apply.
Cruz said that if the Senate does vote to call witnesses, rules of reciprocity should apply. For example, Cruz say, “If the prosecution gets a witness, the defense gets a witness. If the prosecution gets two, the defense gets two. If the prosecution gets to call John Bolton, the prosecution gets to call Hunter Biden.”
