(TKG) − According to media reports, U.S. Senators voted on Friday, 31 January, against calling witnesses and/or admitting new evidence in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial that accordingly Mr. Trump is set to be acquitted.
On Friday, January 31, the Senate was set to vote whether or not witnesses should be called for President Trump’s impeachment, something that Democrats hoped four swing Republicans would vote for witnesses, which would have extended the trial without in all likelihood changing its outcome.
Only two of the four Republicans, however, voted with Democrats for calling witnesses in the impeachment trial.
The trial now moves forward to a vote on whether to acquit President Trump, which he claims with certainty to win.
Senior members of President Trump’s Republican Party pushed from the outset for a speedy trial with no witnesses or new evidence.
Above all, they wanted to avoid senators hearing from former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Now the voting on whether or not President Trump should be acquitted is set for the next Wednesday, February 5,
