(Reuters) - U.S. senators are aiming to take final votes in the U.S. Senate impeachment trial of Donald Trump next week under a tentative deal drafted by Republican and Democratic leaders on Friday and due to be voted on later in the evening.
The Senate on Friday voted against calling witnesses and collecting new evidence in the trial, clearing the way for Trump's almost certain acquittal in the coming days.
