| 0:00.0 | Good evening. You've been watching the end to a rather chaotic day on the Senate floor. |
| 0:04.9 | Proceedings continue 11 a.m. Monday. Looks like we have a possible road map to resolve the |
| 0:09.5 | Senate impeachment trial. It comes in the form of a resolution signed off on by President |
| 0:14.0 | Trump after speaking with Republican leader Mitch McConnell. It follows a series of failed |
| 0:18.2 | votes and democratic attempts to subpoena witnesses and a stop and start day with a lot of |
