(Feb. 12) The Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump is headed toward a verdict that could come as soon as Saturday after the defense presented its case and senators questioned both sides on the charges and their arguments. --- You're watching Quicktake's 24/7 live streaming news network where we cover the world's top stories. --- With most Republicans appearing to hold firm against convicting Trump, the defense spent barely three hours of the 16 hours they were alloted to disparage the House impeachment managers’ case as “constitutional cancel culture” aimed at silencing both the former president and his millions of supporters. “Let’s be clear, this trial is about far more than President Trump. It is about silencing and banning speech the majority does not agree with,” attorney Bruce Castor said. “It is about canceling 75 million Trump voters and criminalizing political viewpoints.” The Senate trial reconvenes at 10 a.m. Saturday. The rules for the trial allow for two hours of closing arguments and debate on any request from the House prosecutors or the defense to hear from witnesses. Neither side has indicated they plan to call witnesses. --- Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2TwO8Gm Bloomberg Quicktake brings you live global news and original shows spanning business, technology, politics and culture.
