U.S. SENATE PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
Various Networks, 11:00 a.m. ET
Even though last week’s Senate vote against allowing additional testimony or evidence would seem to make the rest of this presidential impeachment hearing essentially hearing-impaired, it continues. Today each side starts the day with closing arguments (two hours each), then allots time, today and tomorrow, for senators to speak their peace (briefly) and defend their votes and positions. That pushes the actual vote on impeachment to Thursday, presumably. Meanwhile, today the results from the Iowa caucus come in, and tomorrow President Trump delivers his 2020 State of the Union speech. And Friday, the week ends with another Democratic debate. So politically, it’s quite a week… starting this morning.
