Both the House managers and President Trump's defense team wrapped up their closing arguments yesterday. Senators will continue giving speeches today explaining their impeachment vote. Follow updates throughout the day:
The final vote is on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. The Senate is poised to acquit Trump, as a conviction would require a two-thirds majority, but there still is some uncertainty over the margin of the vote — and whether any senators cross party lines.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone urged senators to reject the articles of impeachment against Trump. Cipollone called for a bipartisan vote of acquittal for Trump that he said would"end the era of impeachment once and for all.": A handful of senators in both parties have still not said whether they will vote to convict or acquit the President on the two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — that the House passed in December.
