(AP) — House Democratic leaders have carried the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump across the U.S. Capitol in a formal procession to the Senate.
Trump will now face trial in the Republican-controlled Senate, with arguments expected to start next Tuesday and all 100 senators as the jurors.
Chief Justice John Roberts will preside.
It’s only the third such trial in American history.
Trump complained anew it was all a “hoax,” even as fresh details emerged about his efforts in Ukraine.
He is accused of pressuring the Ukrainians to investigate Democrat Joe Biden, while withholding military aid as leverage.
