Trump impeachment trial: Closing arguments tee up final vote after Senate rejects new witnesses

From the start of the impeachment proceedings in the Senate, it was considered unlikely that two thirds of the GOP-majority chamber would vote to convict a Republican president. After Friday's vote against allowing new witnesses and documents into the trial, acquittal is virtually certain.

But a razor-thin majority of Senate Republicans on Friday night voted against a proposal to allow that additional information. Two Republican senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Utah's Mitt Romney, broke with their party and voted alongside the Democrats Trump's pressure on Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to announce the investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as a debunked conspiracy alleging Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, are at the heart of the two articles of impeachment that passed the House in December. The president has denied any wrongdoing.

But some Republicans, including at least one key swing vote, have not denied that Trump's actions were wrong.

Tax money at work.
