The U.S. Senate voted against calling witnesses on Friday in the impeachment trial of President Trump. That set into motion final arguments in the trial and an all-but-guaranteed acquittal later this week.

Monday, on MPR News with Kerri Miller, we look at how this impeachment compares to others and consider the lasting effects for the future.

Guests:

  • Andra Gillespie is an associate professor of political science at Emory University.

  • Jeffrey Engel is the director of the Center for Presidential History at Southern Methodist University in Dallas and the co-author of the book “Impeachment: An American History.”
