President Trump's lawyers finished their presentation Monday night, dismissing the need for additional witnesses and saying former National Security Adviser John Bolton's testimony is not needed.

The president's team told senators that House managers selectively withheld evidence in their arguments.

On the floor, House impeachment managers stressed the president would not hesitate to investigate any political rival. Outside the chamber, senators sparred over issuing subpoenas.

On Thursday, House Democrats outlined how the law applies to what they see as the president's "corrupt scheme" with Ukraine to tilt the 2020 election in his favor.

Lead impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., called on senators to "decide what kind of democracy you believe we ought to be." Trump, meanwhile, called the case against him a "hoax."

House managers called for impeachment and attorneys for President Trump declared the articles of impeachment "ridiculous."

The new restrictions had been promised by the president after Iranian missiles struck an Iraqi air base, threatening American and allied service members this week.

The president said no Americans were harmed after Iran launched missile strikes against U.S. military forces in Iraq in apparent retaliation for the killing of Qassem Soleimani.

Former national security adviser John Bolton could provide previously undisclosed information about President Trump's withholding of aid to Ukraine.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani was "provocative and disproportionate."

The Democratic presidential candidate released letters from three doctors saying he is fit for the office.

Now that the House of Representatives has voted on impeachment, we look back at some of the moments and events that led Congress to this point.

Lawmakers are expected to vote on whether to impeach President Trump after roughly six hours of debate on Wednesday. The articles charge that Trump abused his power and obstructed Congress.

As the House prepares to debate two articles of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday, a look back at how Congress got here.

After an abrupt end to a contentious day of debate, the panel reconvened Friday morning to pass the articles on party-line votes. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote next week.
