Prosecutors ask impeachment court to subpoena former senator Antonio Trillanes

The prosecution in Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial has requested a subpoena for former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to testify next week.

During a filing before the impeachment court, prosecutors asked that Antonio Trillanes IV appear as a witness concerning Article II, which deals with Duterte's alleged unexplained wealth and questionable fund sources. The request follows earlier testimony from PhilGEPS division chief Rendelle Sopeña, expected to return to the stand on Monday. Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte has already been subpoenaed and may be called on Monday or Tuesday.

Why it matters

The subpoena could bring new testimony that may influence the outcome of Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.
