Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (D-IL) released the following statement after the U.S. Senate voted against additional witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump:

"The American people deserved a fair trial, and today Republicans in the Senate failed them. By blocking additional witnesses and documents from consideration, the President's allies transformed what should have been a trial in pursuit of the truth into a disgraceful cover-up of the President's wrongdoing.

Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (D-IL) released the following statement:

"Throughout my life, I have supported Israel, advocated for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, and prayed for peace and security for Israel and her neighbors. In Congress, I have consistently promoted U.S. support for Israel, concurrent with the pursuit of peace through a two-state agreement, negotiated by the Israelis and Palestinians directly. I continue to strongly believe this is the only viable way to achieve sustainable security, peace and prosperity for both peoples.
