0:42Now PlayingTrump's adviser Jason Miller was seen holding up a document labelled "witness list 301 (so far)" for reporters. The Senate voted to consider a request for witnesses at Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, injecting a chaotic new element that could end up prolonging proceedings that had appeared to be on track to wrap up on Saturday.
Five Republicans joined with Democrats and independents in a 55-45 vote to allow debate on subpoenas for witnesses in the trial -- a move that left even some senators unsure about what will come next.
Senate leaders were negotiating the next steps. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said, “There are discussions under way,” and the Senate recessed until 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
Amid confusion over what the vote meant, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said it opened discussion on whether to actually call witnesses and how many.
“I don’t think there’s any limit right now, and that’s part of what will be debated,” she said.
