Sen. Ted Cruz said President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate could last more than eight weeks if senators choose to call witnesses to testify.

The Texas Republican appeared on Fox News on Sunday to discuss impeachment after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi transmitted articles of impeachment to the chamber following weeks of stonewalling. Cruz said that if the Senate chooses to call witnesses in the trial, the proceedings could drag out for weeks or months.
