| Megathread: Senate votes not to call witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial Posted: 31 Jan 2020 03:35 PM PST The Senate on Friday night narrowly rejected a motion to call new witnesses in Donald Trump's impeachment trial, paving the way for a final vote to acquit the president by next week. In a 51-49 vote, the Senate defeated a push by Democrats to depose former national security adviser John Bolton and other witnesses on their knowledge of the Ukraine scandal that led to Trump's impeachment. Two Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah — joined all 47 Senate Democrats in voting for the motion. Two potential GOP swing votes, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, stuck with their party, ensuring Democrats were defeated.
