JUST IN - U.S. Senate, on a 55-45 vote, has rejected Paul’s motion to declare the impeachment trial unconstitutional. Senate Minority Leader McConnell voted with Paul.

Five Republican senators sided with Democrats and voted "no" on dismissing the Senate impeachment trial:

• Susan Collins (ME)
• Lisa Murkowski (AK)
• Mitt Romney (UT)
• Ben Sasse (NE)
• Pat Toomey (PA)

45 senators believe the impeachment of a former President Trump is unconstitutional. The conviction now is highly-unlikely as a 2/3 majority is required.
