Edit: That's all the time we have today. Thank you for all the questions. Keep following our coverage at Dispatch.com

I'm Rick Rouan and I've worked at The Columbus Dispatch since 2013, covering transportation, local government, and statewide politics and elections. I've written about the influence of campaign contributions in government and how Columbus tried to lure Amazon's second headquarters. Since last summer, we've been tracking voter purges in Ohio.

And I'm Doug Caruso. I'm the Midwest investigations editor for the USA TODAY Network. Before moving into this job last year, I spent 24 years as a journalist at The Columbus Dispatch, reporting on local government and higher education, leading teams of reporters, and overseeing data-driven investigations. My recent work includes projects that examined the flood of arrest warrants in US courts and Columbus' most troubled neighborhood. For this story, when we presented their most recent findings in an ongoing investigation of Ohio's 2019 purges to Secretary of State Frank LaRose, he said it's time for a change. We'd love to share what we found and explain the changes the LaRose said he wants to make.

Discussion Thread: Senate Impeachment Trial - Day 10: Senator Questions - Day 2 | 01/30/2020 - Live 1pm EST

Posted: 30 Jan 2020 09:03 AM PST

Today the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Donald Trump continues with the second Session of Senator questions. The full Senate is now afforded a 16 hour period of time, spread over two days, to submit questions regarding Impeachment. Questions will be submitted to the House Managers or Trump's defense team in writing, through Chief Justice Roberts, and will alternate between parties. The Senate session is scheduled to begin at 1pm EST.

Prosecuting the House's case will be a team of seven Democratic House Managers, named by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff of California. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump's personal lawyer, Jay Sekulow, are expected to take the lead in arguing the President's case. Kenneth Star and Alan Dershowitz are expected to fill supporting roles.

The Senate Impeachment Trial is following the Rules Resolution that was voted on, and passed, on Monday. It provides the guideline for how the trial is handled. All proposed amendments from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) were voted down.

The adopted Resolution will:

Give the House Impeachment Managers 24 hours, over a 3 day period, to present opening arguments.
Give President Trump's legal team 24 hours, over a 3 day period, to present opening arguments.
Allow a period of 16 hours for Senator questions, to be addressed through Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.
Allow for a vote on a motion to consider the subpoena of witnesses or documents once opening arguments and questions are complete.

The Articles of Impeachment brought against President Donald Trump are:
