New York Times
The House will transmit its article of impeachment charging former President Donald Trump with “incitement of insurrection” to the Senate on Monday, prompting the start of a trial unlike any other in American history.
Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, just weeks after he urged on a mob that attacked the Capitol, is the second one in just over a year. No other president has ever been impeached twice, and no former president has ever been put up on trial.
Senators Chuck Schumer, above, and Mitch McConnell have been discussing delaying the heart of the trial — in-person arguments — until the following week. That could appeal to Democrats who have been trying to ensure that the impeachment trial does not get in the way of confirming President Biden’s cabinet picks.
