The votes were held back to back on the first day of the president's impeachment trial. Schumer called the rules 'completely partisan' and said they 'seem to be designed by president Trump for President Trump.' 'Although President Trump has, in times, invoked the motion of due process, an impeachment trial – an impeachment inquiry is not a criminal trial and should not be confused with it.' He also turned over photos of himself with Trump, Trump family members, and key Trump World figures. Schumer said Sunday he would force a vote on allowing witnesses as the Senate impeachment trial gets underway Tuesday.
