Trump news: Rape accuser asks for president's DNA, as impeachment judge foils attempt to reveal whistleblower on Senate floor

Justice Roberts — who earlier had denied a question from Rand Paul that would've apparently outed the whistle-blower — asked senators not to direct their questions to specific people. Senator Kennedy addressed his question to Nadler and Philbin directly.

There have been a couple of bipartisan questions that could possibly redraw the party line.

Senators Collins, Manchin, Murkowski and Sinema ask Trump's legal counsel whether Trump will assure that private citizens will not directed foreign policy unless formally designated by the president.

Pat Philbin on Team Trump responded, saying that Rudy Giuliani was not conducting foreign policy but was a source for Trump.

Adam Schiff said that's a "remarkable admission" that confirms Fiona Hill's testimony about Giuliani running a "domestic political errand" on behalf of Trump and did not serve the national interest.

It's a pretty common rally move: hold hand to eyes, tell people to look at the cameras, get people to boo.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will head to Ukraine tomorrow, the same day that the Senate could acquit the president in his impeachment trial.

From the Secretary of State's office: "Secretary Pompeo will travel to Kyiv on January 31, where he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko, and Defense Minister Andriy Zahorodnyuk to underscore the United States' strong support for Ukraine and the country's Euro-Atlantic integration."

Pompeo will also meet with Metropolitan Epiphaniy of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine and "civil society and business leaders." He'll participate in a wreath-laying ceremony to "honor those who have fallen in the Donbas conflict while defending their homeland from Russian aggression."

Hakeem Jeffries coined a new one: he called the president's alleged lack of constitutionality the "5th Avenue standard."

Meanwhile, the president is leaving Michigan following a White House event celebrating USMCA that was more of a greatest hits speech from his New Jersey rally on Tuesday night.

He's heading to Iowa, where, ironically, he'll be rallying supporters while several Democratic presidential candidates will likely still be in the Senate for his impeachment trial.

Back at the trial, Senate Democrats Manchin, Gillibrand and Schatz just asked the attorneys from both parties whether they've ever been involved with a trial that didn't involve witnesses.

Val Demmings from the House: "Witness testimony and evidence, or documentation, in a case is everything. It is the life and breath of every case."

Pat Cipollone from Trump: "I don't think anyone really believes that the Trump administration hasn't cooperated." (He didn't answer the question.)

Meanwhile, at the White House, Kellyanne Conway was asked whether she agrees with Trump's attorney Alan Dershowitz, who argued that that a president can weave their private interests into the public interest.

She said "I'm not going to discuss politics from the podium" but adds that she was "struck by his comments that no one is above the law including the Congress."

Senator Mike Lee asks whether Obama would've been impeached for DACA and Bush impeached for waterboarding and NSA wiretaps.

Cipollone says they would, under the standards set by Congressional Democrats. "Put a lock on the door," he says, because impeachments will continue.

The president is really laying into the retweet button after his Michigan pep rally.

He retweeted six posts (and counting?) attacking impeachment manager Adam Schiff, including a post from one account calling him a "congenital liar that has done nothing positive for the American people."

Health officials announced a sixth case earlier today. It was the first person-to-person transmission of the virus in the US.

Big question from Elizabeth Warren, in which she appears to make Chief Justice John Roberts tell on himself by making him read aloud:

Does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republicans have prevented witnesses "contribute to the loss of the legitimacy of the Chief Justice, the Supreme Court and the Constitution?"
