The right to call witnesses in your own defense is not unlimited. The judge has to believe that those witnesses actually have relevant testimony. Impeachment trials are different of course. The Chief Justice could rule that certain questions are out of order, but there is precedent that a majority of senators present may overrule him on that.

Lol. If you think Son of a [BLEEP] Biden evades a subpoena when the Senate calls for questions, and that line of questioning doesn't go to the others then you are very naive. Pelosi knows this is a losing game for the Dems, too bad the radicals are in charge now. Well...not too bad as far as I'm concerned, actually more like, "please, take all the rope you want!"

The house plays the role of prosecutor.
The rights to call witnesses in defense does not kick in until the trial begins.
A wise prosecutor will question the accused informally and check in on any witnesses that the accused mentions, but these are matters of wisdom, not rights.

Giuliani said last night that no one from the Admin is going to talk to them. He wont engage until it goes to the Senate, he's putting it on the Dems to formally act on the record before they respond. He's gonna destroy them, even a poster like you knows that the Dems in the House are the polar opposite of "wise."
