'Threshold in History': Articles of Impeachment Are Delivered to the Senate as Trump's Trial Is About to Begin
Trump, 73, has officially been accused of abuse of power and obstruction. A months-long investigation in the House of Representatives broadly corroborated the case against him: that he withheld support of Ukraine’s government to pressure leaders there to investigate his political rivals.
The trial, which will begin with some ceremonial matters on Thursday but is not expected to effectively start until Tuesday, will determine whether Trump is convicted on the charges and removed from office. The seven managers, whose roles are analogous to prosecutors at the Senate trial, also include Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Hakeem Jeffries, Val B. Demings, Jason Crow and Sylvia R. Garcia. On Wednesday, they physically walked across the Capitol to bring the impeachment charges to the Senate, where Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell received them.
