The House approved a single article of impeachment – the equivalent of an indictment in a criminal trial – on January 13, accusing him of inciting an insurrection with an incendiary speech to supporters before they stormed the Capitol on January 6. A police officer and 4 others died in the melee.
The Constitution makes clear that impeachment proceedings can result in disqualification from holding office the future, so there is still an active issue for the Senate to resolve, these scholars have said. Some Republicans have criticized Trump's false claims of voting fraud and his failed efforts to overturn President Joe Biden's November 3 election victory. But no Senate Republicans have said definitively that they plan to vote to convict him.
Paul also has objected to plans to have Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy preside at the trial. US Chief Justice John Roberts presided at Trump's first impeachment trial, which ended in his acquittal in February 2020 on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress arising from his request that Ukraine investigate Biden and his son.
The 2nd impeachment trial: 1) Senate was the scene of the crime of insurrection & also the trial place; 2) Senators were witness/victim of the crime of insurrection & also the judges/jurors of the impeachment trial. Lets see who are the TRAITORS/ SHAMELESS GOP senators to RIGG it
