Trump impeachment: Senate prepares to hear opening arguments in trial
Mitch McConnell unveils resolution to move trial forward with unanticipated speed, consigning key proceedings to late-night hours
As Donald Trump prepared on Tuesday to address the billionaires in Davos, the US Senate prepared to hear opening arguments in an impeachment trial that could remove Trump from the presidency, if not from his seemingly unassailable perch in the public eye.
For only the third time in history, prosecutors sent by the House of Representatives will rise on the Senate floor to charge the president with “high crimes and misdemeanors” and declare that he must be turned out of the White House.
