Senator says Trump trial could be postponed for weeks
The impeachment trial of United States President Donald Trump could be postponed for “weeks” after witnesses were approved by the Senate, Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley (pictured) said on Saturday. Merkley made the remarks on NBC during a trial recess as members of Congress were mulling how to proceed with witness lists.
Shortly after the vote on witnesses, Trump’s lawyers said they have at least 301 witnesses they want to call to testify, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Meanwhile, reports claimed that the Trump team was “stupefied” by the implications of the vote to allow witnesses as they had expected the trial would end by Monday.
