Trump Impeachment Trial: What to Watch Ahead of Questioning Both Sides
“After days of sitting quietly as both sides of the case delivered their opening arguments, senators on Wednesday will be able to start questioning the impeachment managers and President Trump’s lawyers by submitting questions to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., who will read them aloud.
The questioning phase will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, for up to 16 hours total. A vote on whether to hear witnesses in the trial is expected on Friday.
Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, told Republicans during a closed-door meeting that he did not currently have the votes to block witnesses, according to a person familiar with the meeting. But behind the scenes, key Republicans said they were increasingly confident they could bring the trial to an end.“
