Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said on Monday that he expects the opening arguments for President Trump's impeachment trial to start next Tuesday.
Asked if Tuesday, Jan. 21, was the "likely" start date, he told reporters that is "what it's feeling like."
"We'd actually be glued to our chair starting Tuesday, I think," he said, asked if he was talking about the opening arguments.
The timeline comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is expected to send the articles to the Senate this week ending a weeks-long standoff with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
