On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate will officially begin President Trump's impeachment trial by voting on a resolution that sets up the rules, including how long it will last and how long everyone has to speak. Each side will be given a set amount of hours to present its case for or against the president.



Senators will likely spend Tuesday debating the resolution put forward by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, which gives both House impeachment managers and the president's defense team 24 hours each over the course of two days to present their cases.



Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused McConnell or trying to cover up evidence, saying the rules he proposed are "a national disgrace."



Day 1 of the Trump impeachment trial adjourned at 2 am ET until 1 pm ET Wednesday.
