LIVE: Oral arguments set to kick off in Trump's Senate impeachment trial over the Capitol siege

Day two in former President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial over the Capitol insurrection will kick off at 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Insider will embed a livestream of the proceedings here when they begin.

Each side - the House managers acting as prosecutors in the trial, and Trump's defense lawyers - will get 16 hours to make its argument. House managers will be first up, and according to the impeachment resolution, each side's presentation per day cannot go over eight hours, and it can't take more than two days to make its case. The New York Times reported on Monday that the House managers are prepared to wrap up their arguments in as little as a week.

After the presentations are done, US senators who are acting as jurors in the impeachment trial will get four hours to question both sides.

Next, Republicans and Democrats will each get two hours to make arguments on whether to subpoena documents and witnesses, if the impeachment managers request it.

Last, the prosecution and defense will each get two hours to make their closing arguments.

Initially, one of Trump's lawyers, David Schoen, submitted a request for the trial to pause during the Jewish Sabbath - between Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturday evening - and the Senate majority and minority leaders approved the request. But Schoen later withdrew it, which means the trial could now continue on Saturday and into Sunday.
