Trump impeachment process allowed to call witnesses

The US Senate has allowed witnesses to be summoned to the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, CNN reports, which is broadcasting live from the resumed hearings in the case.

55 senators voted for this decision, 45 against. Who exactly will be witnesses will be decided at separate votes. Prosecutors are expected to want to see Rep. Jamie Herrera-Butler in this role.

Summons of witnesses to the process may postpone the proceedings, the newspaper writes.
