   Jan 22 (Reuters) - About 11 million TV viewers watched the start of the U.S. Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump on Tuesday when lawmakers sparred for hours over witnesses and records for the historic proceedings, according to Nielsen ratings data.
   The total fell short of the roughly 13.8 million viewers across 10 broadcast and cable television networks who tuned in last November for the first day of the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry into Trump.
   The audience figure on Tuesday covered the 4-1/2 hours of daytime coverage by six cable and broadcast networks that aired live telecasts on Tuesday.
   The networks were Walt Disney Co's ABC, ViacomCBS Inc's CBS, Comcast Corp's NBC and MSNBC, AT&T Inc's CNN and Fox Corp's Fox News.
   On Tuesday, Senate Republicans rejected Democratic efforts to obtain evidence and call witnesses. Debate stretched past midnight before final rules were approved.
   The trial, which resumed on Wednesday with opening arguments, is the third presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history .
   Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House in December on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for pressuring Ukraine to investigate former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden, a political rival, and impeding the inquiry into the matter.
   The Republican president denies any wrongdoing. He is almost certain to be acquitted by the Republican-controlled 100-member Senate, where a two-thirds majority is needed to remove him from office.
   The TV ratings do not include people who watched live coverage via online streaming or followed the event on social media.

該網絡是沃爾特迪斯尼公司的 ABC,維亞科麥克斯公司的 CBS,康卡斯特公司的 NBC 和 MSNBC,AT&T 公司的 CNN 和福克斯公司的福克斯新聞。
週二,參議院共和黨人拒絕了民主黨努力獲得證據和召喚證人。辯論在最終規則獲得批准之前延長了午夜。
審判於週三以公開辯論恢復,是美國歷史上第三次總統彈劾審判。
