Sen. Susan Collins has become the first Republican senator to break rank and announce support for witnesses and documents in the impeachment trial of President Trump.
"I worked with colleagues to ensure the schedule for the trial included a guaranteed up-or-down vote on whether or not to call witnesses. I believe hearing from certain witnesses would give each side the opportunity to more fully and fairly make their case, resolve any ambiguities, and provide additional clarity," Collins, who had previously signaled support for calling witnesses, said in a statement.
Ahead of Friday's crucial witness vote, Democrats had hoped four Republican would break ranks to give them the 51 votes needed to move ahead with further votes to determine who to subpoena.
