It’s the eve of the Senate trial, and both sides are busy preparing for a historic day. What happened today - President Trump’s legal team [submitted a 110-page brief today](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgCMTqP4QhAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDEvMjAvdXMvcG9saXRpY3MvdHJ1bXAtbGVnYWwtdGVhbS1hc2tzLXNlbmF0ZS1mb3Itc3BlZWR5LWFjcXVpdHRhbC1pbi1pbXBlYWNobWVudC10cmlhbC5odG1sP3RlPTEmbmw9aW1wZWFjaG1lbnQtYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfaWJfMjAyMDAxMjE_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MTQwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE1MzMwJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjA0OTMmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAyMDAxMjFXA255dEIKACTqPyZef6TJQFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) calling on the Senate to “swiftly reject” the impeachment charges and acquit him. His lawyers dismissed the validity of both articles of impeachment because they do not state any specific violation of the law — an interpretation of impeachment widely rejected by constitutional scholars. - The brief did not deny that Mr. Trump asked Ukraine to announce the investigations into Democrats, nor that he withheld the military aid. But his lawyers said that Mr. Trump never tied the investigations to a White House meeting or security assistance. - The seven House Democratic managers released their own legal brief on Monday, arguing that the Trump team’s objection to the abuse of power charge ignored the intentions of the founders, and in doing so left the country “powerless to remove a president for corruptly using his office to cheat in the next election.” - The trial begins on Tuesday at 1 p.m. The first day is expected to be largely spent debating the rules for the proceedings. If the Senate can agree on a resolution — or, more specifically, if Senator Mitch McConnell has enough votes to push it through — opening arguments may begin on Wednesday.

Though Mr. McConnell has not publicly released his proposed procedures for the trial, some Republicans have described a draft of the resolution. Here’s what we know. Modeled on the rules for the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, the draft affords the managers and the president’s lawyers 24 hours each to present their case. Unlike that earlier trial, though, Republicans are considering making the two sides use their time over just two marathon days each. That could mean that the first days of the trial run well beyond midnight, when it’s unlikely that many people will still be watching. A draft of the resolution also proposes giving Mr. Trump’s lawyers the right to make a motion early in the trial, before oral arguments, to dismiss the case altogether. But that strategy is risky: While Mr. Trump has called for a quick dismissal, moderate Republicans have said they want to hear the case out, and such a motion would most likely fail.

There would first be a simple vote on whether to consider the issue; if a majority says yes, the managers and defense lawyers would then offer specific proposals.
