Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) says he expects the Senate to debate and vote on whether to subpoena additional witnesses and documents on Wednesday of next week if the impeachment trial plays out as anticipated.
Thune spoke to reporters Wednesday night after the first full day of opening arguments, offering a projection for how the rest of phase one of the trial is likely to unfold.
“If you kind of play things out sequentially, you’re looking at — looks like — maybe the middle of next week where we’d be getting to the point of having that vote,†he said, referring to when senators will vote on the crucial question of extending the trial and reviewing additional evidence not covered by the House inquiry.
