Senators will resume questioning House Democrats and defense lawyers Thursday in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, the final step before a crucial vote on whether to allow witness testimony.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ky., has been working all week to lock down enough votes within his 53-member caucus to block a Democratic attempt to admit additional evidence in the trial.

They were also pressed on the question of corrupt motives.
