HOW TRUMP S SECOND IMPEACHMENT WILL UNFOLD
The House is expected to impeach President Donald Trump for his encouragement of supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, a vote that would make him the first American president to be impeached twice.
While the previous three impeachments - those of Presidents Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Trump - took months before a final vote, including investigations and hearings, this time it will have only taken a week. After the rioting at the Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said we must take action, and Democrats - and some Republicans - share her view ahead of Wednesday s vote.
Donald Trump becomes the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice, as the House of Republicans approves a charge of inciting an insurrection following the riotous invasion of the Capitol last Wednesday.
McConnell rejects call for immediate Trump impeachment trial, likely delaying it past Biden inauguration Chris Sommerfeldt
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell does not plan to reconvene his chamber early to conduct an impeachment trial for President Trump, a source told the Daily News, meaning the high-stakes proceeding will likely play out after Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The Kentucky Republican, who controls the chamber until Democrats regain their majority next week, informed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) of his decision in a phone call on Wednesday, according to the source.
Schumer had urged McConnell to use a 2004 emergency authority to immediately reconvene the Senate in hopes of kick-starting Trump’s trial as early as Friday, with the House set to impeach him Wednesday for inciting last week’s deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.
