WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said she would send the article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday, triggering a second impeachment trial, but details of the proceedings remained unresolved.
The Democratic impeachment managers are “ready to begin to make their case to 100 Senate jurors through the trial process,” Mrs. Pelosi said in a brief statement Friday. The nine managers, who act as prosecutors in the case, will be led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) gave no details on how the trial will be conducted, and Democratic and Republican party leaders have yet to reach an agreement on the schedule. “It will be a full trial, it will be a fair trial,” he said Friday on the Senate floor.
The House voted last week to impeach Mr. Trump, alleging he incited a mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, which left five people dead. The article of impeachment had support from all House Democrats and 10 Republicans.
