Moments ago, the Senate voted to call witnesses in former President Trump's second impeachment trial. Following the vote, there appeared to be some confusion on the Senate floor about the move, with one senator even asking what exactly they just voted on.

Moments ago, the Senate voted to call witnesses in former President Trump's second impeachment trial.

Following the vote, there appeared to be some confusion on the Senate floor about the move, with one senator even asking what exactly they just voted on.At the start of today's trial, Rep. Jamie Raskin announced that House managers were seeking to subpoena Rep.

We're still not exactly sure how many witnesses could be subpoenaed. It's also unclear what this means for the timeline of the trial. Before this vote, the Senate had been poised to vote to either convict or acquit Trump as early as this afternoon.

Major faux pas by House Managers to agree to have Rep. Beutler’s statement read into records as opposed to deposition. SenateDems impeachment ImpeachTrump

Where was CNn when Portland and Seattle indirection was killing Mom and pop?

Oh good to know they care that much...

The ONLY witness who should have been made to show up for Trump’s trial is Trump. Innocent people aren’t afraid to show up. That tells you out right that TRUMP IS GUILTY. We ALL saw his guilt on TV and his love for those mob special people. CRIMINAL!

ChrisCuomo I don't understand why there having closing arguments when there supposed to call witnesses.

🤦🏾‍♀️....these are our leaders

ChrisCuomo You think that wound is closed and healing that is a JOKE It might be closed like your MIND but it is NOT CLOSED FOR US AMERICANS WHO WANT HIM CONVICTED OF HIS CRIMES TAKE OUR VOTES AND THEN WE SEE WHO WINS. SINCE YOU CANNOT OR WILL NOT DO WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO

I had a right to hear that witness.

How dumb are US senators? Uh where’s the bathroom, what did we just vote on? Does it impact the rest of the world... I dunno,I’m just an imbecile.

29 trill in debt doesn't matter free ride for so long forget they are on a free ride

Call witnesses on both sides! Do this right (for once). We need to hear testimony, have witnesses answer questions and then decide how to vote!

Good move

good . now he needs to be convicted . that way it’ll prove that in 🇺🇸, no matter how big post a person holds, no one is above the law . & also all those who were behind the insurrection & violence ( hawley, giuliani , cruz etc) & supported him need to be convicted too

Fake President....

This is like watching a bad reality tv show. More so, ticks me off that tax dollars are paying for it.

This is Joshua. He was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia at just 3-month-old. He's now 11-month-old & urgently needs a stem cell transplant after eight chemo cycles to beat leukemia, but can't afford it. Please donate, share or retweet!

We hope very candidly that our Senate representatives in the Senate are for real business &not sleeping videos of some world Leaders often seen on social media sleeping inside international meetings..I was struck watching the Senator asked for reason of vote

ChrisCuomo at least this trial continues to expose the lack of intellect by many pols - a good thing that hopefully does not go unnoticed

ChrisCuomo These people that will decide our country's future...God helps us!!

If you see drones in your area, please take photos of them and send to us. We need more evidence before we report it to World Media. We have connections! STOP NIGHT ARRESTS WhatsHappeningInMyanmar Feb13Coup

What a clown show

The Democrats presented no actual evidence - no testimony, no facts - only what was ‘reported’ by third hand ‘news’ organizations like TMZ - Call all the witnesses you want; let the Democrats perjure themselves

ChrisCuomo Please give JohnKingCNN a whiteboard.

Look no one cares about trump right now give us our stimy that’s why we voted the way we voted then after you give us our money then impeach trump

If the FBI said that the insurrection was pre-planned, why would that be considered exculpatory evidence? If Trump had knowledge of a proposed attack on the Capitol then he should have taken measures to protect and warn. He did nothing.

I’ve been resigned to the likely fact that Repubs will acquit. Witnesses might not change their minds but it will darken the stains on their hands when facing the American people

If you don’t know what you are voting for, Pay attention or Don’t vote😉

Mikey Mouse and Donald Duck would be good presidents, too, if I could vote......
