President Donald Trump's legal team will complete their third and final day of arguments on Tuesday, concluding a defense that has insisted there was nothing improper about the president's dealings with Ukraine's government and pushing blame to former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Trump's legal team was thrown a recent curveball, though, with an explosive forthcoming book by former national security adviser John Bolton that undercuts the president's defense, and claims that Trump refused to release military aid for Ukraine until the country provided information on his political rivals.

The Senate is expected to vote later this week on whether to call additional witnesses to testify.
