LIVE: The Senate impeachment trial has started on day two of the historic case in Washington, DC.

The House manager said that "over the coming days, you will hear remarkably consistent evidence of President Trump's corrupt scheme and cover-up"."This is why you will hear the president's lawyers make the claim that you can't impeach a president for abusing the powers of his office because they can't seriously contest that that is exactly, exactly what he did."

Four Republican senators would have to break with their party and unite with Democrats to empower Mr Schiff and his team of prosecutors to call witnesses in the case. The more we hear from Adam Schiff, the more the GOP is getting unified against this partisan charade!But that's unlikely to happen. Senate Republicans defeated all of the Democratic attempts on Wednesday to subpoena testimony from four key officials, displaying a united front behind Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

If Republicans get their way, no witnesses will be called and the Senate will move toward a vote to acquit the president, before Mr Trump’s State of the Union address on February 4.
