Politico: Trump’s impeachment trial could extend into next week
White House officials wanted more time to prepare their closing arguments in the case, said several sources.
The Senate impeachment trial for President Donald Trump could drag into next week, even as GOP leaders appear to have the votes needed to prevent additional witnesses and testimony from being offered, according to Republican senators and aides.
Republicans suggest the trial could extend into next week due to scheduling concerns over the Iowa caucuses on Monday and Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday. But nothing is decided, and the party spent about an hour hashing out the next steps on Friday afternoon.
White House officials also wanted more time to prepare their closing arguments in the case, said several sources close to the issue.

Rush Limbaugh earlier this week that the Democrats would keep at it. Every time they fail they will bring up some new 'bombshell' or three.
Right on cue the NYT (out of central casting) bring up a Bolton leak.
Once the Bolton thing flames out, there will be another bombshell.
Rinse & repeat.
