Washington Senators voted on a surprise move by the House managers on Saturday to allow for witnesses in the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
That created a long recess in which senators mingled as leadership, impeachment managers and lawyers for Trump discussed and agreed to add to the record the account of a phone call between Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, as recounted by a House Republican congresswoman.

Artist Bill Hennessy has been in the chamber all week and was able to see what happened during the recess and beyond. Here are his latest sketches:
Sy. Susan Collins, Sy. Lisa Murkowski, en Sen.. Kyrsten-bioskoop (seated, Links na regs) during a break in the impeachment trial.
Trump counsel Bruce Castor (seated) speaking with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky.

Senators discuss how to proceed with witnesses on February 13, 2021.
