Former President Donald Trump’s impeachment document has been tabled in the Senate
Washington … News Time
Former President Donald Trump’s impeachment document has been tabled in the Senate. According to media reports, Trump is accused of inciting his supporters to revolt and inciting the mob to attack the Congress building. On January 6, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Hill, the congressional building that blocked Biden’s election victory. The House of Representatives had a few days ago passed a resolution in favor of his impeachment, after which it has now been sent to the Senate. Congressman Jamie Raskin read out the allegations against Trump, saying he was a major threat to US security and government agencies. The Senate hearing against the former president began in early February.
It may be recalled that on January 13, the US House of Representatives approved the impeachment of the former president by 232 votes to 197, while 10 Republicans also voted against Trump. Donald Trump is the only president in US history to face impeachment for the second time. He has hired two lawyers to cover up his misdeeds and defend his controversial actions. Butch Bowers and Deborah B Barber are lawyers who also run their own law firms in Colombia and South Carolina. Both lawyers will argue in favor of former President Trump in the Senate. He will preside over the impeachment, according to Patrick Lea of the Democratic Party, the most senior member of the Senate. Talking to reporters, he said that he would ensure that they remain neutral and proceed with the proceedings in the House as per the prevailing procedure. According to the US Constitution, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the impeachment proceedings of the President. However, Trump is no longer the president of the United States, so officials say Chief Justice John Robert will not preside over the impeachment proceedings.
