Impeachment Trial Day 4: What time does it start, how to watch, what to expect

The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump continues Friday with House managers scheduled to finish their opening statements.

Here is how you can watch the proceedings on television and online.

What time does it start: The Senate will reconvene at 1 p.m. and the trial will continue then.

How can you watch: The trial will be live on cable news networks – CNN, Fox, MSNBC and others – and on CSPAN-2.

It will be shown part of the day on broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS.

The broadcast networks have their own online sites where you can follow along – go to the home page for each network and you’ll see a link to live coverage. The networks also have YouTube channels where the livestream of their coverage of the trial can be accessed.

Most local television and newspaper sites will also have livestreams on their websites. Go to the TV or newspaper homesite and look for a link.

What to expect: According to House manager Adam Schiff, D-California, the final day of opening arguments will cover the second article of impeachment brought against Trump – obstruction of Congress.

Managers are expected to show how Trump’s refusal to turn over documents and his order that those in the White House who have been subpoenaed should refuse to testify, has hindered the impeachment investigation in the House.

The last day of the opening arguments for the House managers will also see a presentation that seeks to tie together all the evidence laid out by the managers during the past two days.
