LIVE VIDEO: Senate Begins Trump Impeachment Trial

NPR reports:

After the gavel at 1pm ET on Tuesday, there will be four hours that will be split between House impeachment managers and Trump’s defense team to debate whether the trial is constitutional.

The Senate will then vote on this question, and in this case, given last month’s 55-45 vote on a very similar question, they will be expected to once again vote in the affirmative.

This would be followed by 16 hours over two days for the House to make its argument starting at noon on Wednesday. After this stretch, Trump’s legal team will also have 16 hours over two days to make their defense of the former president.

I’ll bump up this post throughout the day.
