NEW: @SenSchumer and @senatemajldr told their members at their respective closed-door lunches that the two leaders have agreed to a proposal culminating in a Wednesday vote to acquit the president, according to two Democrats in the room and two Republican aides familiar. 1/ @SenSchumer @senatemajldr Since the proposal requires the buy-in of senators of both parties and the president, the details and timeline could shift.

And Trump's proposal to reopen the government failed: 51-47. Manchin was the only Democrat to vote for it.
Sens. Lee and Cotton were the only Republicans to vote against it.

Furthermore, the five names Trump added to his list of Federalist Approved judges last November was to get Kavanaugh on that list. The other four names were considered cover, per source.
