His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Gary Gwilliam, in an interview Monday. “They’re heroes. They stood up. Their careers were ruined.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district board of directors approved the settlement on Oct. 2, according to agency spokeswoman Kristine Roselius.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The air district has denied, and continues to deny, all allegations of wrongdoing,” Roselius said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The board made this decision in the best interests of the communities we serve and to uphold our fiduciary responsibility. We made the decision to settle the complaint rather than consume the air district’s resources on an issue that would have distracted us from our mission to protect the Bay Area’s residents and its climate,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former employees’ lawsuit said that while the district claimed Bachmann was fired for violating the agency’s vehicle use policy, insubordination and dishonesty on his employment application, the real reason he lost his job was retaliation over his complaints involving the public records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bachmann and Steele said the district violated public records and labor laws and demanded compensation for lost wages and benefits, emotional distress and attorneys’ fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public records allegations arose as the air district prepared to move from its previous offices on Ellis Street in San Francisco to the Bay Area Metro Center on Beale Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bachmann was tasked with collecting, storing and creating an inventory for the agency’s public documents.

The Supreme Court’s decision not to hear an appeal is considered a setback for governments in much of the West that are grappling with widespread homelessness by designing laws to regulate makeshift encampments on sidewalks and parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11777005,news_11764548']The case stems from a lawsuit filed nearly a decade ago. A handful of people sued the city of Boise for repeatedly ticketing them for violating an ordinance against sleeping outside. While Boise officials later amended their ordinance, the 9th Circuit eventually determined the local law was unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a decision last year, the court said it was “cruel and unusual punishment” to enforce rules that stop homeless people from camping in public places when they have no place else to go. That means states across the 9th Circuit can no longer enforce similar statutes if they don’t have enough shelter beds for homeless people sleeping outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case now returns to the 9th Circuit. The city of Boise says it’s evaluating its next steps.\u003cbr>\n___\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787861253/how-boises-fight-over-homelessness-is-rippling-across-the-west-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPR’s original story\u003c/a> on the Boise case published Dec. 13, 2019:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s billed as one of the most livable places in the country with its good schools, leafy streets and safe neighborhoods. That’s what makes Boise, Idaho, an odd backdrop for a heated legal fight around homelessness that is reverberating across the western United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes back nearly a decade to when seven homeless people sued Boise for repeatedly ticketing them for sleeping outside. Last year, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2019/04/01/15-35845.pdf\">ruled in their favor\u003c/a>. The decision said it was “cruel and unusual punishment” to enforce rules that stop homeless people from camping in public places when they have no place else to go. That means in states across the 9th Circuit — including Washington, Oregon and California — cities and counties can no longer enforce similar statutes if they don’t have enough shelter beds for homeless people sleeping outside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pam Hawkes was one of the original plaintiffs in the case. She now lives in Spokane, Washington, where she had been in and out of homelessness and only recently found stable housing. Seven years ago, she and her then-partner had nowhere to live in Boise, and many nights, they had no other choice but to pitch a tent in a wooded area along the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I just need somewhere to lay my head overnight,’ and it’s not like we left camp up,” she said. “We always packed up and we always kept it clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though she says she tried to keep herself hidden, police issued her more than a dozen tickets. Like most people living on the streets, Hawkes didn’t have steady work and couldn’t pay the fines. So she ended up in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d never been in jail a whole day and night before,” she said. “It was terrifying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boise has hired a high-powered Los Angeles-based law firm to appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Dozens of other municipalities and organizations, ranging from the downtown L.A. YMCA to a group of California counties, have filed amicus briefs in support of the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the fight over how to deal with the ever-growing homelessness crisis — most acutely visible in places such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle — is dividing cities, neighborhoods and political parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a deciding factor in the unusually heated Boise mayoral race between two Democrats this past fall. Like many western cities, Boise is in the midst of an extraordinary affordable housing shortage. It’s also one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, a source of tension in some corners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message that prevailed was city council president Lauren McLean’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The part that is missed all too often is the importance of prevention, if we want to prevent camps, we have to prevent homelessness,” she said during a forum at at a local homeless shelter. “We’ve got to address the affordability crisis in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a divisive runoff earlier this month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/post/runoff-election-results-2019-mclean-wins-boise-mayor-race-mcgee-takes-caldwell-city-council\">McLean handily beat the city’s longest-serving mayor\u003c/a>, Dave Bieter. He took heat for the city spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to appeal a case, money that some argued should be going to housing and more support services for the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bieter warned that the famously pleasant and livable city of Boise can remain that way only if it has the ability to issue some tickets to stop the spread of tent cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m really concerned when I see Seattle or Portland or San Francisco, I go there and I see a city that’s overwhelmed by the problem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11791457\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2019/12/16/supreme-court-wont-hear-case-to-ticket-homeless-for-sleeping-in-public-spaces/san-francisco-like-many-places-across-the-west-face-a-growing-homelessness-crisis/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11791457\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11791457\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1920x1439.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/ap_19269761182883-3bfcfa8078ccf933b69ae0a098d95e5125d52c03-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco, like many places across the West, face a growing homelessness crisis. \u003ccite>(Jeff Chiu/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In cities like those, and in Los Angeles, the homelessness crisis is far more eye-opening than in Boise. Homeless encampments are sprouting up in underpasses, along streets, on scores of sidewalks and inside parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In downtown Los Angeles’ skid row, some 3,000 people sleep on the streets in the shadow of the financial district and luxury condos. The county is home to nearly 60,000 homeless people, and the city’s homeless \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-homeless-count-encampment-affordable-housing-2019-results-20190604-story.html\">population jumped 16%\u003c/a> in the last year. California is where nearly a quarter of the country’s homeless population live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer and Los Angeles County each filed \u003ca href=\"http://filedn.com/lOJqn8isbUNJvUBnJTlV5OS/CITY%20OF%20LA%20AMICUS%20BRIEF%20CITY%20OF%20BOISE.pdf\">amicus briefs\u003c/a> in support of the appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want the Supreme Court to issue clear rules that lead there to be certainty in jurisdictions like ours as to how we can regulate — constitutionally — conduct on our sidewalks,” Feuer said. “A shared space for which we need to strike a very fine balance between the rights and legitimate interests of homeless people and the rights and legitimate interests of other residents and businesses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11752329,news_11748088,news_11739894,news_11745902,news_11678178' label='The Rise in Homelessness']The Boise ruling, he said, sweeps too broadly. He wants clarity. Does Los Angeles have the right to intervene if someone, for example, refuses to take an available shelter bed even if the city doesn’t have beds for everyone? Is the city required to do burdensome nightly counts of the homeless population as compared with the number of shelter beds available?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to assure that there are rules that everybody can live by, so that all our public spaces that are shared by everybody can be safe for everybody,” he said. “Occasionally that is going to require some level of enforcement, and sometimes a level of enforcement is going to pertain to people who are homeless, not because of their status of being homeless, but because of conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is nowhere near the number of shelter beds or temporary and permanent housing for the people who need it, Feuer said. But as the city works to solve the crisis, it also needs tools to keep Los Angeles safe.

She now lives in Spokane, Washington, where she had been in and out of homelessness and only recently found stable housing. Seven years ago, she and her then-partner had nowhere to live in Boise, and many nights, they had no other choice but to pitch a tent in a wooded area along the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was like, ‘I just need somewhere to lay my head overnight,’ and it’s not like we left camp up,” she said. “We always packed up and we always kept it clean.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though she says she tried to keep herself hidden, police issued her more than a dozen tickets. Like most people living on the streets, Hawkes didn’t have steady work and couldn’t pay the fines.

Dozens of other municipalities and organizations, ranging from the downtown L.A.

Democrats argued that the president's move to hold up a White House meeting and security assistance approved by Congress in exchange for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's announcing investigations of a Trump political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden as well as his son Hunter, was an abuse of power. They say the White House directive to administration officials to refuse congressional request for both testimony and documents that committees had requested was obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's happening this week?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Judiciary committee released \u003ca href=\"https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/CRPT-116hrpt346.pdf\">a 658 page report\u003c/a> late Sunday evening that describes the two articles of impeachment against President Trump. It explains the charges and outlines the evidence Democratic investigators found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Taken together, the articles charge that President Trump has placed his personal, political interests above our national security, our free and fair elections, and our system of checks and balances. He has engaged in a pattern of misconduct that will continue if left unchecked. Accordingly, President Trump should be impeached and removed from office,\" the report states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House Rules Committee will meet on Tuesday to set the parameters for the debate and discuss any proposed changes to the Judiciary Committee's resolution. Any lawmaker who wishes to speak on the impeachment resolution can appear at the hearing. But the panel has nine Democrats and four Republicans so it is expected to vote to keep the text of the articles approved by the Judiciary Committee intact and set how many hours lawmakers will have to debate each of the two articles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Democratic leaders have scheduled a floor vote for Wednesday, according to two senior House Democratic leadership aides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on how much time leaders decide to set or how much time members take to speak on the floor, the debate could take most of the day. If it goes late into the evening, there is a chance leaders will shift the final vote to Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will there be Democratic defections?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, but it's unclear how many. Two House Democrats — Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey and Collin Peterson of Minnesota — \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/31/774777869/house-to-vote-to-formalize-outline-impeachment-inquiry\">opposed the resolution \u003c/a>formalizing the impeachment inquiry and are expected to vote no on the articles of impeachment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Top House Democratic leaders have described the vote on impeaching a president as a \"vote of conscience\" and have compared it to voting to send U.S. troops into war. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters last week that she is not asking any of her members how they are voting. Democrats took control of the House in 2019 after a group of centrist Democrats won seats in 31 districts that Trump had carried in the 2016 election, and many of those members \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/14/787990097/on-verge-of-impeachment-vote-first-term-moderate-democrats-weigh-a-political-ris\">are still mulling over how they will vote\u003c/a>. Some admit that if they back impeachment, it could affect whether they are re-elected in 2020. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the speaker insists she's not weighing in with this group, saying, \"They'll make their own decisions. I don't say anything to them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are any Republicans expected to break with their leaders on impeachment?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, Republicans voted unanimously against the House resolution starting the impeachment inquiry, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has sounded confident that the conference will again stick solidly behind the president. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment. The Senate is designated as the chamber that tries the case, with all 100 senators acting as jurors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi will appoint impeachment managers from among House Democrats to play the role of prosecutors. The White House will decide its defense team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does a Senate trial work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the trial begins, the top Republican and Democratic leaders will try to negotiate a resolution that establishes the ground rules for a trial, such as how long each side will get to present their arguments. That resolution would require a simple majority to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., \u003ca href=\"https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Impeachment%20Letter%20To%20Leader%20McConnell.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Sunday evening seeking testimony from at least four witnesses in a Senate trial. He specifically asked for current and former administration officials who did not cooperate with the House investigation — acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, Michael Duffey, an OMB official, and Robert Blair, a senior adviser to Mulvaney. Schumer also suggested time limits for both sides to present their case, modeled after the bipartisan agreement Senators reached in 1999 for the trial of President Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether Schumer and McConnell can get agreement on how the nuts and bolts of a trial will work. If they don't, there could be a lot of uncertainty for each step of the process. Any senator can raise procedural questions that will trigger votes on all aspects of the trial, including whether any witnesses would be called to testify. Those votes would also need a simple majority vote to pass, and although Republicans control the chamber, there is a small group of GOP senators who have raised questions about the president's actions and could vote with Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told NPR's Steve Inskeep on \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> Monday why he pressed for the witnesses, \"This has to be a fair trial. And there are a good number of my Republican colleagues who have said that, you know, they need more evidence. There are no better people in presenting this evidence than this.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long will a Senate trial last?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-qnp9QLV8\">in an interview on Fox News \u003c/a>last week, made the case for a relatively quick trial without witness testimony. \"If you know you have the votes, you've listened to the arguments on both sides, and you believe the case is so slim, so weak that you have the votes to end it, that might be what the president's lawyers would prefer, and you can certainly make a case for making it shorter rather than longer since it's such a weak case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president has been pushing for the witnesses who were not called to testify in the House probe — like Hunter Biden — to appear at the trial. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to those Senate Republicans urging a quick process, the president said last week, \"I'll do whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't mind a long process, because I'd like to see the whistleblower who's a fraud.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation came out of a complaint filed by a still-anonymous whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate trial is expected to take place in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any Senate Republicans potentially open to joining with Democrats to convict and remove the president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Senate trial, a two-thirds vote (67 votes) is needed to convict and remove a president. McConnell said on Fox News that there was \"no chance\" that would happen. He also said, \"My hope is that there won't be a single Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment.\" Democrats would need 20 GOP senators to break with the president. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Steve Scalise, R-La., the No. 2 House GOP leader and the party's vote counter, is actively whipping votes against the articles, and the vote is viewed as a test of party loyalty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If the House approves articles of impeachment, what happens next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the House resolution is approved, as is expected, it is transmitted to the Senate. Because it would be a \"privileged\" resolution, the Senate must set aside all other legislative business and take it up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Articles of impeachment are compared to an indictment. The Senate is designated as the chamber that tries the case, with all 100 senators acting as jurors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi will appoint impeachment managers from among House Democrats to play the role of prosecutors. The White House will decide its defense team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How does a Senate trial work?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the trial begins, the top Republican and Democratic leaders will try to negotiate a resolution that establishes the ground rules for a trial, such as how long each side will get to present their arguments. That resolution would require a simple majority to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., \u003ca href=\"https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Impeachment%20Letter%20To%20Leader%20McConnell.pdf\">sent a letter\u003c/a> to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Sunday evening seeking testimony from at least four witnesses in a Senate trial. He specifically asked for current and former administration officials who did not cooperate with the House investigation — acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton, Michael Duffey, an OMB official, and Robert Blair, a senior adviser to Mulvaney. Schumer also suggested time limits for both sides to present their case, modeled after the bipartisan agreement Senators reached in 1999 for the trial of President Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether Schumer and McConnell can get agreement on how the nuts and bolts of a trial will work. If they don't, there could be a lot of uncertainty for each step of the process. Any senator can raise procedural questions that will trigger votes on all aspects of the trial, including whether any witnesses would be called to testify. Those votes would also need a simple majority vote to pass, and although Republicans control the chamber, there is a small group of GOP senators who have raised questions about the president's actions and could vote with Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schumer told NPR's Steve Inskeep on \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> Monday why he pressed for the witnesses, \"This has to be a fair trial. And there are a good number of my Republican colleagues who have said that, you know, they need more evidence. There are no better people in presenting this evidence than this.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long will a Senate trial last?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ-qnp9QLV8\">in an interview on Fox News \u003c/a>last week, made the case for a relatively quick trial without witness testimony. \"If you know you have the votes, you've listened to the arguments on both sides, and you believe the case is so slim, so weak that you have the votes to end it, that might be what the president's lawyers would prefer, and you can certainly make a case for making it shorter rather than longer since it's such a weak case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the president has been pushing for the witnesses who were not called to testify in the House probe — like Hunter Biden — to appear at the trial. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Referring to those Senate Republicans urging a quick process, the president said last week, \"I'll do whatever they want to do, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't mind a long process, because I'd like to see the whistleblower who's a fraud.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation came out of a complaint filed by a still-anonymous whistleblower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate trial is expected to take place in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Are there any Senate Republicans potentially open to joining with Democrats to convict and remove the president?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
