What’s next in impeachment

(AP) House leaders are preparing for the final impeachment vote just as lawmakers are about to leave for the holiday break.

Approval would set up a 2020 trial in the Senate. A vote could come as soon as Wednesday, with a meeting to set debate rules already scheduled for Tuesday. Floor consideration is expected to be much like that of a regular bill.

Meanwhile, Senate leaders are considering how to structure a trial for President Donald Trump. In a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer proposed calling four witnesses during a trial that could last three weeks or longer.

Trump denies any wrongdoing.
