The US Senate scheduled Friday the final impeachment vote against Donald Trump for next Wednesday at 16:00 p.m. local time (21:00 GMT), APA reports quoting Sputnik.
Senate Democrats wanted former national security adviser John Bolton to testify after a leak of an unpublished manuscript of his forthcoming book stated Trump ordered him to help pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential rival and former US Vice President Joe Biden, as well as his son Hunter Biden.
The trial ground to a halt Friday afternoon after an internal GOP spat erupted over how to end the proceedings. The pushback from so-called moderate Republicans reportedly derailed McConnell’s plan to acquit Trump late Friday or early Saturday after a round of votes on Democratic procedural objections.
“There was some feverish discussion”, Mike Braun told reporters after the vote, reported The Hill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell eventually postponed the final vote on articles of impeachment against Trump until 5 February. Braun said they hope to have the final vote on the articles of impeachment next week.
