Will Senate Republicans Start President Trump's Impeachment Trial This Friday?

 


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As the U.S. House of Representatives moved on Wednesday toward a vote on impeaching President Donald Trump, Republican leaders in the Senate weighed whether to launch a trial on Friday on whether to remove him from office, a source familiar with the deliberations said, though no final decision was reached. 

The internal Senate discussions were unfolding as the Democratic-controlled House sped toward impeaching the president for his role in last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol, when Trump supporters breached the building’s security, sent lawmakers fleeing and left five dead in their wake, including a police officer. 

The House was due to consider a single article of impeachment - a formal charge - of inciting an insurrection, who is due to leave office in one week. If the House approves it, Trump would become the first president impeached twice. National Guard troops and police provided security at the Capitol.

We're paying for this circus and the "free" popcorn has been reheated a few times. Insulting.

I have some doubt...even it is right it doesn't mean anything about the ending.
