The Senate continued the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton with presentations by House managers and the president’s defense team on calling witnesses to the well of the Senate or entering videotaped depositions into the record. After the presentations a motion to enter depositions into the record passed by a vote of 100 to 0. The Senate then voted on a motion to call Monica Lewinsky to testify, defeating the motion by a vote of 30 to 70. A third vote was taken on a motion and a substitute motion to allow six hours to present the depositions. The unamended motion carried by a vote of 62 to 38. Senator Tom Daschle then offered a motion to proceed directly to closing arguments which failed by a vote of 44 to 56. Counsel for the president made a motion that the House managers notify them of which portions of the depositions were to be used, which failed by a vote of 46 to 54. close
