Senate Republicans are preparing to vote on party lines and reject Democratic efforts to subpoena witnesses and documents in the trial’s organizing resolution
Senate Republicans are poised to jam through the ground rules for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, preparing to vote on party lines and reject Democratic efforts to subpoena witnesses and documents in the trial’s organizing resolution.
If those votes prove salient, it may not be until November when Democrats try to win back the Senate in part on Republicans' impeachment votes. The changes to the handling of the House's evidence could be contentious, as the new resolution will allow White House lawyers to object to evidence if they deem it hearsay.
And amid sustained criticism from Democrats for appearing to rush the trial, McConnell defended his blueprint for the first time since it was released on Monday evening. Republicans voted to kill Schumer's amendments on party lines, notably rebuffing hauling in acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and OMB officials.
