Here are yesterday's highlights from the impeachment trial
Sen. John Thune said that Republicans are aiming to acquit President Donald Trump as early as possible on Friday afternoon but could be forced to delay until Saturday amid a barrage of Democratic procedural votes.
Thune added that the Senate is likely to make a key change from the Clinton impeachment — allowing each senator to explain their position on the floor, rather than a closed-door deliberation. Engel surprised the Senate and even some House colleagues when he publicly disclosed for the first time the four-month-old conversation with Bolton, in which the former national security adviser urged him to follow up on the case of Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine ousted by Trump last spring.
"He mentioned the ambassador and he said follow her and watch what happened with her," Engel recalled, adding, "Basically, if you're following her you'll be able to figure out some things."
