   WASHINGTON - Democrats who will argue the case to remove President
   Donald Trump from office demanded on Tuesday that Trump's personal
   lawyer Pat Cipollone disclose any first-hand knowledge he has of
   evidence he will present in the Senate's impeachment trial, calling him
   a material witness.

   "You must disclose all facts and information as to which you have
   first-hand knowledge that will be at issue in connection with evidence
   you present or arguments you make in your role as the President's legal
   advocate so that the Senate and Chief Justice can be apprised of any
   potential ethical issues, conflicts, or biases," the House of
   Representatives managers wrote in a letter to Cipollone.
