Democrats suffer major setback

Washington: A key Republican senator said late Thursday that he would oppose calling new witnesses at Donald Trump's impeachment trial, paving the way for the possible acquittal of the president by the Senate as early as Friday. Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee said he would vote ' no' when the question of calling further witnesses at the trial is considered on Friday. Four Republican votes were needed to introduce new witnesses and Alexander had been considered one of a handful of Republican senators who might support the motion. If the motion is rejected, Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell can conceivably call for a vote to convict or acquit the president as soon as Friday.
