Trial

Trump is virtually certain to be acquitted by the GOP-run Senate.

Trump attorney Eric Herschmann declared the Democrats are only prosecuting the president because they can't beat him in 2020.

Paul, a Kentucky Republican, says he believes that a whistleblower may have conspired with House aides.

A decision to call more witnesses would need 51 votes to pass.

The White House defense team finished its presentations Tuesday.

They argued that Democrats are casting a nefarious light on actions that Trump had been legitimately empowered to take.

As the proceedings opened on Tuesday, he offered three days, rather than two, for opening arguments from each side.

The full trial will begin next week.

The House also approved the chamber's prosecutors.

McConnell says there's nothing to negotiate.
