Senate sets stage for rapid Trump impeachment trial Mike DeBonis
Replay Video UP NEXT The Senate on Monday prepared to launch a historic second impeachment trial of former president Donald Trump on the accusation that he instigated the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with Democratic and Republican leaders agreeing on a rapid timetable that could bring the proceedings to a close within a week. The charge is serious, and the circumstances are unprecedented it is the first impeachment trial for an ex-president as well as the first time any president has been impeached and tried twice. But there is little drama surrounding its outcome: Most Republican senators have signaled that they will not be voting to convict a former president.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced a bipartisan agreement on the rules for the impeachment trial for former President Donald Trump that begins Tuesday, saying it will result in "truth and accountability" for the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
