Impeachment Trial Moves To Next Phase As Senators Get To Ask Questions

The opening arguments from the Democrat House managers and President Donald Trump's legal time are finished, and now, the Senators will have two days to ask questions as the Senate impeachment trial moves forward.

The Senators will not get to ask questions directly. They will submit their inquiries using a form to Chief Justice John Roberts, who will then pose them to the Democrat House managers and president Trump's attorneys. Roberts will announce the name of the Senators who pose each question.

After two days of questions, the Senate will then decide if any witnesses will be called. While it seemed like there were not enough votes in the Republican-controlled Senate to call witnesses, a recent report from the New York Times may change that. The Times reported that Trump's former National Security Adviser John Bolton claims in an unpublished manuscript that the president told him he was withholding military aid to Ukraine until they agreed to launch a corruption investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly does not have the votes to prevent Bolton from being called to testify.
