Impeachment managers, led by Representative Jamie Raskin, tried on Thursday to compel Trump to testify in the trial. Starting Tuesday at 1:00 p.m., the Senate president pro tempore Patrick Leahy will call the session to order. This means the trial proceedings could run straight through the weekend without any break. On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate impeachment trial will kick off with a four-hour debate on whether impeaching an ex-president is constitutional. Leahy, who at 80 is the longest-serving member of the Senate, disclosed last month he would preside over Trump's trial.
