Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the GOP’s leadership in the Senate, warned that the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump could stretch into next week, potentially impacting Trump’s State of the Union address and the Iowa caucuses.

Cornyn, the second-highest-ranking Republican in the upper chamber, told reporters on Friday that he hopes that the trial ends soon.
