McConnell Lays Out Ground Rules for Trial

“The impeachment organizing resolution from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gives House impeachment managers and President Trump’s legal team 24 hours each to make their opening arguments over two days,” CNN reports.

“The resolution raises the prospect that the trial will have 12-hour days and go late into the night.”

Politico: “That will be followed by 16 total hours of questions and answers, culminating in a four-hour debate and a critical vote over whether to consider witnesses or new information.”

“There is no explicit reference to a motion to dismiss the trial in the resolution.”
