Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced late Thursday that he will vote against allowing additional witnesses and documents in the Senate impeachment trial.

In a lengthy statement, he wrote that there is “no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven and that does not meet the United States Constitution’s high bar for an impeachable offense.”
