Trump's impeachment trial coming to an end: the decision will be announced in a couple of hours

On Wednesday, February 5, the U.S. Senate will vote on Donald Trump's impeachment, which will nearly inevitably end with his acquittal.

With the Republican majority, there is no necessary two-thirds of the votes to remove Trump from office. Last week, the senators decided to proceed without hearing from key witnesses.

The vote - scheduled for today's afternoon - is likely to be fairly quick. Chaired by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, the senators will declare their votes one by one - "guilty" or "not guilty".

Donald Trump is charged with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
