Senate Republicans have for now blocked Democratic motions to immediately call witnesses and subpoena documents.
On Tuesday, the Senate approved rules for Trump’s trial on two articles of impeachment.
Democrats failed to persuade Republicans to agree to issue subpoenas for documents and witnesses, though those matters can be revisited later.
A livestream player will be added before the trial begins.
