Here are the Republicans who voted to hear witnesses at Trump's impeachment trial
CNN
Five Republicans voted with Democrats on Saturday in favor of allowing witnesses during former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, a move that now means it is unclear when the trial will conclude. The final vote tally in the Senate was 55-45.
The vote signals a major twist in the trial. Prior to Saturday morning's proceedings, the Senate had appeared to be on track for a vote on whether to convict or acquit the former President later in the day. But that changed when the House impeachment managers announced Saturday morning that they wanted to seek witnesses. The trial is now likely to extend beyond Saturday, though senators must still vote to approve any witnesses or subpoenas.
The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida Tuesday to volunteer over the “next several days” to help to redact the Epstein files, in the latest internal Trump administrationpush toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.
