“Both the administrators of the Chamber and the defense will have a deadline to draft their legal writings, just as they did in previous judgments. … Once the writings are drafted, the presentation by the parties will begin in the week of February 8,” Schumer said from the Senate floor.

Schumer’s announcement came after he revealed on Friday that the House’s impeachment article will be delivered to the Senate on Monday.

The first trial may begin on February 9, when the House’s pre-trial challenge is also expected.

A spokesman for McConnell argued that the schedule is a victory for the Republican Party leader, who wanted to postpone the trial until mid-February.

“Leader McConnell is happy that Leader Schumer agreed with the Republicans’ request for more time during the pre-trial phase. Especially due to the quick and minimal process in the House, Republicans have endeavored to ensure that the Senate’s next steps will respect the rights and due process of former President Trump, the Senate institution and the presidential office, “said Doug Andres, spokesperson for McConnell.

Neither McConnell nor Schumer provided details on how long they thought the trial should last. Trump’s first impeachment trial in early 2020 lasted 21 days.
