12:18Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., said a fair impeachment trial is not just about hearing from witnesses, you need documents. "Documents don't lie," Lofgren said, adding that the most crucial documents that would shed light into "who knew what when are being held by the executive branch." She proposed the Senate take a week break from the impeachment proceedings before coming back to consider new evidence.
After days of arguments posed by the House managers and Trump’s legal team, followed by questions posed by senators, the lawmakers debate and vote on whether they wish to subpoena new witnesses and documents on Friday, Jan. 31. Then the Senate must decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles -- abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
