“Senate Republicans say there is an early consensus building within their ranks for a short impeachment trial that could see the GOP-led chamber vote on a likely acquittal of President Trump without hearing from any witnesses,” Bloomberg reports.
“Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said a growing number of the Senate’s 53 GOP members want to simply let House Democrats make their case to impeach the president and then hear a rebuttal from Trump’s team before moving immediately to a vote on the articles of impeachment.”
CNN: Senate Republicans come around to idea of not having witnesses in impeachment trial.
