Moments ago, the Washington Post confirmed that Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski will officially vote NO to call new witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial.
This comes just hours after Mitt Romney and Susan Collins promised to vote YES on a measure to call new witnesses to the Senate trial.
Here are the breaking reports from WaPo:
BREAKING: Sen. Lisa Murkowski says she will oppose witnesses, all but assuring the end of Trump’s impeachment trial. The Alaska Republican is one of four GOP senators who have been heavily courted by Democrats to join them in supporting new evidence in President Trump’s historic trial. Democrats are expected to fall short of a majority in a vote on witnesses later Friday.

This decision sticks the proverbial dagger into the heart of impeachment. Without the ability to call further witnesses, the Democrats have nothing else to argue. Next should come a swift acquittal and TOTAL VICTORY for President Donald J. Trump.
