Lawyers for both sides reached an agreement in Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial not to call witnesses hours after the Senate had voted in favor of allowing them.
The unexpected 55-45 vote to allow witnesses, which included five Republicans, was prompted when more details emerged about a January 6th call between House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and Trump. Impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin called for testimony from Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), who confirmed the details of the call in which Trump brushed off requests to make a statement that might quell the ongoing insurrection.

The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to impeach President Trump for “incitement of insurrection,” making him the first president in American history to have been impeached twice.
The vote comes exactly one week after Trump incited a mob of his followers to storm the U.S Capitol in a violent insurrection that left five people dead. The resolution passed by a vote of 232-197. House Republicans overwhelmingly opposed the measure, though 10 did join with Democrats to vote that a president who encourages his followers and his party to overthrow a U.
