Episode details
Episode description
Trump's first impeachment - 2020 Pledging to vote to acquit President Donald Trump, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., said the House managers' case is "partisan" and "weak," claiming that the proceedings were an attempt by Democrats to overturn the 2016 election and influence the upcoming one. On Feb. 4, senators weighed in for a second day on how they will vote when it comes to removing President Donald Trump from office. The speeches come one day before the Senate decides whether to convict or acquit Trump on two articles of impeachment — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After the Senate voted last week to bar new witness testimony and subpoenas for documents, Trump’s acquittal has seemed all but assured. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December.
