Given these arguments, I can see it will be very difficult later for them to refuse the request for docs.
Trump team is definitely out-lawyered.
The vote is 53-47, tabled.

The plan is to revisit the motion after the presentations and questioning.
I would think so, yes.
The Republican plan, entering the room this morning, was to vote on witnesses after the presentations, so this wasn't unexpected.
Remember Pelosi's strategy: If the Senate refuses a fair trial with witnesses and documents, they'll pay for it in November.
