YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCORRECTIONWe have edited this video to remove a portion that included a reference to the alleged whistleblower. The whistleblower, whose identity has not been confirmed, is under federal protections () from retaliation for disclosure of information. Laws protect the identities of people who bring forth accusations of wrongdoing by government officials.
Each senator was given ten minutes of speaking time to talk on the Senate floor.
RELATEDFull State of the Union address
Senators are set to explain their positions on impeachment ahead of a final vote Wednesday on whether acquit President Donald Trump or remove him from office.
After House impeachment managers and Trump's defense team finished their closing arguments Monday, senators were given time to speak on the trial. Those speeches are expected to continue Tuesday.
Only a handful of senators remain publicly uncommitted on their final impeachment votes, and some might use the speeches as an opportunity to explain their position to their constituents.
The speeches also come the same day Trump will give his State of the Union address.
