The House of Representatives made history today, impeaching President Trump for a second time, for instigating the insurrection at the Capitol a week ago today
He becomes the first president ever impeached twice, but now the question is, what will the Senate do, and when will it hold a trial?
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said today he will not force the Senate to come back early from its recess, which ends next Tuesday, meaning it won’t be possible to hold a trial before then. And we don’t know how long the House will wait before transmitting the Article of Impeachment to the Senate, for the trial and possible conviction of the president.
