For context, Clinton’s impeachment trial lasted five weeks, with Senators taking time to depose three witnesses.Opening arguments in the trial will begin on Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST, with each side getting 24 hours over three days to make their case.
Then the Senate will decide whether to subpoena additional witnesses or documents by a simple majority vote, which could happen as early as Wednesday, January 29.
