Democrats rejected McConnell's timeline for the trial as an effort to “conceal the President’s misconduct in the dark of night,” a literal description if the first week of the trial goes until one in the morning
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Over a month after Trump was impeached on the House floor, the Senate trial will begin on Tuesday, determining if the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges passed by the House stick, culminating in the removal of the president.
What will day one look like? Day one is expected to run past 6 p.m. as Democrats attempt to change Mitch McConnell’s organizing resolution — the details of the trial not established in the Constitution or in the Senate’s rules. Who will argue the cases for and against impeachment? Senators are not allowed to speak at the trial, so expect some familiar faces from the House and from Trump-world to take the spotlight for the next week. Impeachment managers arguing for the removal of the president include House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler; Chairman of the Democratic Caucus Hakeem Jeffries; Judiciary member Zoe Lofgren; Judiciary and Intelligence member Val Demmings; and Judiciary member Jason Crow.
