House Expected to Vote to Send Articles of Impeachment to Senate This Week
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In impeachment news, the House of Representatives is expected to vote
this week to name their impeachment managers and send the articles of
impeachment to the Senate. Three Republican senators have said they want
the Senate to call former national security adviser John Bolton as a
witness during the Senate impeachment trial: Utah Republican Senator
Mitt Romney, Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski and Maine
Republican Senator Susan Collins. Fifty-one senators can vote to
subpoena witnesses in an impeachment trial, meaning that if one more
Republican senator joins the 47 Democratic senators, the group could
force Mc Connell to subpoena Bolton, who has said he would testify if
subpoenaed.
