Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Sunday that there are no real rules for how the Senate will conduct its impeachment trial of President Donald Trump and added that the chamber could call witnesses to testify.

“When it comes to impeachment, the rule is that there are virtually no substantive rules,” Kennedy told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday. That means there are several steps the Republican-controlled Senate could take, including forming a committee to hear evidence.
