President Trump's defense team plans to present arguments for about two hours on Saturday, an official familiar with the strategy confirmed to The Hill.
The president's attorneys will get their first chance to present on Saturday, a window Trump dubbed Friday morning as "Death Valley in T.V." They are expected to speak for only a couple hours before giving a more extensive presentation on Monday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that the trial will start at 10 a.m. and "run for several hours."
