“We’re going to get to the specific question of witnesses on Friday,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) told reporters.

Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Senate Republican, also said that the vote would “presumably” take place on Friday.

“It probably happens Friday or Saturday at the latest,” Thune added.

New information from John Bolton, which has not been confirmed has prompted more outcry for witness testimony. Mitt Romney has even expressed the need for it, but it remains unclear if Democrats can get the 51 votes necessary to call witnesses.
