Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call

• Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah announced on Wednesday that he will vote to convict President Donald Trump for abuse of power.
• "I think the case was made," Romney said. He was also one of just two Republican senators who broke with their party to support a motion to call new witnesses in Trump's trial, though the motion ultimately failed.
• The Senate will hold a final vote on whether to convict or acquit Trump of the two charges against him — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — beginning at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
