NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” kicked off its latest episode by presenting an impeachment trial of President Trump Donald John TrumpBarr criticizes DOJ in speech declaring all agency power 'is invested in the attorney general' Military leaders asked about using heat ray on protesters outside White House: report Powell warns failure to reach COVID-19 deal could 'scar and damage' economy MORE “you wish had happened,” in the wake of what it dubbed “two weeks of dry debate and posturing.”

The eight-minute skit satirized the proceedings that have taken place in the Senate over the past two weeks, reimagining a trial in which witnesses such as Trump, former national security adviser John Bolton John BoltonThe Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by The Air Line Pilots Association - Pence lauds Harris as 'experienced debater'; Trump, Biden diverge over debate prep DOJ launches probe into Bolton book for possible classified information disclosures Gary Cohn: 'I haven't made up my mind' on vote for president in November MORE and former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenThe Memo: Warning signs flash for Trump on debates Senate Republicans signal openness to working with Biden National postal mail handlers union endorses Biden MORE's son Hunter Biden appear for testimony.

It opens with Kenan Thompson, playing reality TV host Judge Greg Mathis, replacing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, played by Mikey Day, as the trial's presiding officer. Asked if he wanted Roberts's gavel, Thompson's Mathis replies, "Fool, I brought my own."

The two GOP senators offer ardent defenses of the president, with Bennett's McConnell quipping, "I just want to remind the American people that all men are innocent after proven guilty."

Cecily Strong, impersonating Bolton, later arrives at the trial and is questioned about what else is in the former administration official's forthcoming memoir.

"No, no. Sorry, judge. No more free spoilers," Strong's Bolton says. "But you can preorder the book now. It's called 'Harry Potter and the Room Where It Happened.'"

Bolton's testimony prompts Bennett's McConnell to demand testimony from Hunter Biden.

"Oh, you know I'm calling Hunter Biden too. What, do you think I hate hilarious witnesses? The court calls Hunter Biden," Thompson's Mathis says, leading Seth Davidson to roll into the trial on a hoverboard with a vape in his hand.

Davidson, as Hunter Biden, admits upon entering that "my schedule was wide open." He later acknowledges he's on “the board of a Brazilian money laundering company called Nepotismo.” But when asked whether he only got the job because of his father, Davidson's Hunter Biden takes a jab at Trump's family.

“That’s right. I’ve been selling Biden steaks from my office at the top of Biden Tower and letting foreign leaders stay at Biden-a-Lago. Oh, no. Wait. That’s the president’s sons! Ya burnt," he says.

Alec Baldwin's Trump then arrives. Upon entering, Baldwin says that he's a "very sick old man" and asks, "How could I withhold aid from Ukraine? I can barely get around the house."

"Ladies and gentlemen of this government place, what I’ve learned from this trial is that clearly nothing I do or say has any consequence, so I’d like to come clean about everything," Baldwin's Trump adds later. "The call with the Ukraine wasn’t perfect. It was illegal. And frankly, it was a butt dial."

Mathis's Thompson eventually ends the trial by finding Trump guilty of all charges, fining the president $10,000 and ordering him to say something nice about Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy PelosiPowell warns failure to reach COVID-19 deal could 'scar and damage' economy Overnight Defense: House to vote on military justice bill spurred by Vanessa Guillén death | Biden courts veterans after Trump's military controversies Intelligence chief says Congress will get some in-person election security briefings MORE (D-Calif.).

The House voted to impeach Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress following an inquiry into his alleged dealings with Ukraine. Trump is likely to be acquitted of the charges this week, after GOP senators blocked a motion for new witness testimony and documents in the upper chamber's trial.
