comes down to an anticlimactic end Wednesday afternoon with a 4 p.m. vote all-but-certain to end in his acquittal.
President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., left, watches.Trump is only the third president in U.S. history to face an impeachment trial, but largely because Republicans have a 53-47 advantage in the Senate, his fate has been mostly a foregone conclusion since even before the proceedings began.

There is no greater subversion of our democracy than for powers outside of our borders to determine elections within them. If Americans believe that they don't determine their senator, their governor, their president, but rather some foreign potentate does, that's the beginning of the end of the democracy," he says.

He said he hasn’t let anyone in leadership know how he'll vote and criticized reporters for asking. “Do you know where I’m from?” he asked one reporter.
