Top senators, lawyers for former President Trump
The Senate voted 55-45 to allow for witnesses, a move that caught Trump world and senators off guard, with both expecting that the impeachment trial would wrap up on Saturday.
The vote threw the Senate into chaos, and now senators say there is a behind-the-scenes scramble to try to work out an agreement.

"Right now, they're just trying to work out some agreement. And if it doesn't work out, then we can have several amendments to the underlying resolution on other witnesses, so that's really the mechanics of what they're going through now. I suspect they'll work something out, but we won't know for probably an hour, hour and a half," Sen. Thom Tillis
