On Friday, at the request of the majority leader Mitch McConnel, the United States Senate voted against seeking new evidence in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, sending the months-long inquiry into its final stages, with a vote set for February 5. The Senate also reviewed the issue of questioning the witnesses during the court process demanded by republicans Mitt Romney and Suzan Collins, which was declined by 51 senators.
The minority leader, Chuck Schumer, says that with the decision not to seek more evidence, the Senate failed to carry out its responsibility.
Allegedly Trump pressed Zelensky to launch an investigation against Joe Biden and his family and threatened him by the canceling of four hundred million US dollar grant, approved by the Congress. The United States House of Representatives used the given case to initiate impeachment against Donald Trump in December. On January 22, the US Senate voted for Donald Trump’s impeachment with the votes 53/47.
