President Trump's Senate impeachment trial will conclude Wednesday with a final vote (4 p.m. ET) to acquit him on two articles brought by the House — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — after senators continue their debate on the issue.
The latest: Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) claimed that some members of his GOP counterparts had told him that Trump's actions on Ukraine were wrong, saying, "Some of you have admitted to me you're troubled by the president's behavior. You know he's reckless, you know he lies, you know what he did was wrong. I have heard Republican after Republican after Republican senator tell me that privately."
This story will be updated as the debate and trial continues.
The highlights:
- Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said that he hopes Democrats "accept the results" of the impeachment trial and do not attempt to open a second impeachment process — as House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said that it was "likely" House Democrats would subpoena former national security adviser John Bolton.
What to watch: Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) is the sole Republican swing vote who has not yet indicated whether he will vote for acquit.
- Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.), a key moderate Democratic swing vote, announced that he would vote to convict Trump. He said on the Senate floor that he would "not shrink from [his] duty to defend the Constitution and to do impartial justice."
- A pair of other moderate Senate Democrats, Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), have not yet announced their decision regarding the vote.
