Senate Impeachment Trial of President Trump Began Today

The official senate impeachment trial for President Trump will finally begin today with opening statements from both parties. Even though proceedings technically began last week, now is when we get into the actual debates. Both republicans and democrats have 24 hours divided over two days to lay out their opening arguments and make their cases. As the trials are expected to begin as late as 1 P.M. it’s highly likely the 12-hour long trials will go well into 1 A.M. for both days. The first argument expected to be brought up is of course the rules and structure to be set for the upcoming trial. As we already know, democrats have been pushing republicans to provide witnesses in the case. Now they will finally have to come to some sort of solution on the matter.
