Senators predicted former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial could wrap by Saturday, far sooner than initially predicted, and a sign that Democrats who run the chamber are eager to move on to the party’s legislative priorities.
The prediction for a Saturday end to the trial came after Trump’s lawyers signaled they might only use one of two days provided to present their defense of the former president. If the trial concludes Saturday, it will be in record time. Trump’s 2020 impeachment trial lasted three weeks. President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial lasted five weeks.
