The administration refuses to testify than they blew their chance to present contrary evidence if it goes beyond the inquiry stage.
No, that's how a trial works.
Both sides get to present their evidence.
If they want to forgo that part of the process that's their call.
Maybe everyone should just take whatever some politician says at face value, right? Especially if it's the clown in the White House.

As ascribed here many times over this process is no trial.
no again
secret hearings with no minority participation is what is ruling the day
they have not even been invited to participate
the is where the whole house vote has entered past events
it defines the scope and process rules
innocent until proven guilty and all that, right?
I've posted the process multiple times.

you have posted the dnc talking point about the process
The House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
— Article I, Section 2, Clause 5
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
—Article I, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7
funny how all of a sudden precedent has no place
especially when trump of all people has been call out for not being fit because of past presidents precedence
Anything about House votes prior to beginning an inquiry? No? That's because it's not required.
Impeachment proceedings may be commenced in the House of Representatives by a Member declaring a charge of impeachment on his or her own initiative, by a Member presenting a memorial listing charges under oath, or by a Member depositing a resolution in the hopper, which is then referred to the appropriate committee. The impeachment process may be triggered by non-Members, such as when the Judicial Conference of the United States suggests that the House may wish to consider impeachment of a federal judge, where an independent counsel advises the House of any substantial and credible information which he or she believes might constitute grounds for impeachment, by message from the President,by a charge from a state or territorial legislature or grand jury, or by petition.
