The historic impeachment trial of US President Donald Trump got under way on Thursday with the arrival in the Senate of the seven House managers to formally present the two charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress

.

The impeachment articles are formally known as House Resolution 755, "Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for High Crimes and Misdemeanours.""President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honour, trust or profit under the United States," Schiff said as he finished reading from the articles.

At the midway point, Senator Bernie Sanders pulled out a yellow legal pad and jotted down some notes. Senator Jack Reed folded his arms on his desk the entire speech, almost as if in prayer. Just after 12.20pm local time, as Schiff finished, the managers lined up and departed back to the House, not set to return until next week when the actual prosecution of their case begins.AP

Donald Trump impeachment trial voted through to Senate | Sky News AustraliaUS President Donald Trump faces a trial in the Senate after the House of Representatives voted in favour of triggering the next stage of impeachment.\n\nThe House voted largely on party lines, with 228 Democrats voting in favour, and one Democrat joining 192 Republicans to vote against sending the charges on.\n\nAlthough the president is expected to be acquitted of the charges because the Republicans control the Senate, he will still be required to face a trial.\n\nIntelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff and Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler will lead the trial.\n\nMr Trump has been accused of abusing his office by asking the Ukrainian president to investigate the son of his political rival Joe Biden.\n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump Go search what 'discovery' means in a court of law. realDonaldTrump Translation: A kangaroo court of childish 'do nothing' leftards falsely impeached the best President the USA has had in over 30yrs. Which, rightly so, will be exposed for the rubbish it is by the Senate of grown ups and treated in the cavalier fashion it deserves. realDonaldTrump This is really a non event unless the Republicans back impeachment in the Senate. And they won't. Its little more than a cheap political gesture that will cost the democrats the 2020 election. So over this story.
