Senate Republicans are on the brink of bringing a quick and sudden close to President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
Washington Senate Republicans are on the brink of bringing a quick and sudden close to President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.

That means two things: they have grown confident in their count on the witness vote and this process could be over quite soon.
