Here are the deadlines and what is expected to happen this weekend and next week in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
WASHINGTON – Before the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump begins in earnest Tuesday, House Democrats and White House lawyers file written arguments in the case during the holiday weekend.
The articles of impeachment accuse Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rival, former vice president Joe Biden, while withholding $391 million in military aid. The White House then directed aides and agencies to defy subpoenas for testimony and documents during the inquiry.The House brief will likely echo reports from the Intelligence and Judiciary committees summarizing their investigations.
"I think it should go very quickly," Trump said Thursday of the impeachment trial."This is a hoax. It's a shame." Tuesday: Senate trial resumesThe Senate set a deadline of noon Tuesday for the House to respond in writing to the White House brief. Then the trial resumes at 1 p.m. But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has urged subpoenas for four witnesses, including former national security adviser John Bolton and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
But even GOP senators open to hearing witnesses have said they would wait to decide until after opening statements and written questions, as McConnell suggested.
