10:40Now PlayingTrump's first impeachment - 2020
Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., said he'll vote against the removal of President Donald Trump, saying that he didn't think House managers had a convincing enough case. Instead, Wicker said he found the president's defense lawyers "to be persuasive" in their argument that the president's actions were not grounds for removal.
On Feb. 4, Senators weighed in for the second day on how they will vote on whether to remove President Donald Trump from office. The speeches come one day before the Senate will decide whether to convict or acquit Trump on two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the Senate voted last week to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December.
