Organizers say they want Gardner, a Republican representing Colorado on Capitol Hill, to support a fair impeachment trial so that the American people can hear all the evidence, including key testimony, directly from witnesses. On Thursday, Senators took an oath of impartial justice as jurors.

"The people are the ones who are going to keep our government officials honest. If this was behind closed doors who knows what would happen, but with America watching I feel very optimistic that things will go fairly," said Stone.
