Senate appears poised to acquit President Trump as historic impeachment trial nears end

The third Senate impeachment trial of a sitting President in US history will come to an end Wednesday with a vote that’s expected to acquit Donald Trump.

The Senate will vote at 4 p.m. ET on the verdict for two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The outcome is a forgone conclusion: Senate Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the chamber, and so far no Republicans have said they will vote to remove the President from office. A two-thirds majority is required for conviction.
