One of the attorneys representing President Donald Trump in the impeachment trial withdrew his request to pause the trial from Friday night to Sunday morning in observance of Sabbath, according to a copy of a letter obtained by several reporters.

“I am advised that your response to my letter was to graciously accommodate my Sabbath observance and to set a schedule for the upcoming impeachment trial that meant suspending the trial for the Jewish Sabbath,” David Schoen, one of the three attorneys representing Trump, wrote.
