2-"McConnell said on Tuesday the first phase of the Trump trial would be similar, with both House impeachment managers and Trump's team presenting their opening arguments and questions from senators.
3-""At that point during the Clinton trial, the issue of the appropriateness of calling witnesses was addressed; obviously that is the most contentious part of these proceedings. And that will be addressed at that time and not before the trial begins," McConnell said.
4-"The GOP leader declined to explain just how “similar” the organizing resolution for Trump’s trial will be to the resolution passed at the start of former President Clinton’s trial.
5-"..Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) pledged on Tuesday that Democrats will force votes at the start of the trial on calling impeachment witnesses. "Make no mistake, on the question of witnesses and documents, Republicans may run but they can't hide.
6-"There will be votes at the beginning on whether to call the four witnesses we've proposed and subpoena the documents we've identified," Schumer said from the Senate floor." ~The Hill
