Mohyeldin alongside yasmin vossoughian. We begin with the impeachment trial of President Trump which resumes this afternoon and Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell has unveiled the ground rules for the proceedings. Mcconnell released the fourpage organizing resolution which outlines the rules that will govern the trial late yesterday afternoon. It offers both the democratic prosecutors and the White House Defense team 24 hours in total to make Opening Statements but the time must be confined to two working days or basically two 12hour slots. When each side has made its case, senators will be given 16 hours to ask questions in writing. The senate will consider subpoenaing witnesses or documents and vote on whether to do so. The resolution does not automatically admit evidence from the house impeachment inquiry. The impeachment rules set forward by Mitch Mcconnell vary from those of the impeachment trial of president bill clinton. According to the new york times, while the trial is expected
