Trump impeachment article formally delivered to Senate
WASHINGTON, Jan 26, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – The US House of Representatives formally presented an article of impeachment to the Senate on Monday accusing Donald Trump of inciting the storming of the Capitol, triggering the first-ever impeachment trial of a former president.
In a solemn procession, the nine House impeachment managers silently walked the article of impeachment through the same ornate halls of Congress overrun by Trump supporters on January 6 and delivered it to the secretary of the Senate.
Trump’s Senate trial is to begin the week of February 8.
