With the US House of Representatives poised to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time – just days before he is to leave office – questions are being raised about what happens next.
That time crunch has sparked debate and speculation about whether the Senate can hold a trial before Trump leaves office.Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said a trial could not begin until January 20 – the day Trump is scheduled to leave office. But The New York Times reported on Wednesday that McConnell believes Trump did commit impeachable offenses and sees an opportunity to rid the Republican Party of the real estate tycoon once and for all.
All three previous presidential impeachments – those of Trump and presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton – occurred while the leaders were still in the White House.
