House delivers article of impeachment against Donald Trump to Senate, triggering his trial
Democrats have formally delivered an impeachment charge against ex-US President Donald Trump to the Senate, with the trial set for the week of February 8.
Jan. 26 - The US House of Representatives presented a single article of impeachment to the Senate on Monday local time accusing Donald Trump of inciting the storming of the Capitol, setting in motion the first-ever impeachment trial of a former president.
In a solemn procession, the nine House impeachment managers silently walked the article through the same ornate halls of Congress overrun by Trump supporters on 6 January and delivered it to the Senate.
Representative Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, then read out the charge against Mr Trump on the Senate floor, where the former president continues to enjoy significant support from Republican senators.
"Donald John Trump engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by inciting violence against the government of the United States," Mr Raskin said. "He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power and imperiled a coequal branch of government."
The Senate trial of MrTrump, who was impeached by the Democratic-majority House on 13 January for an unprecedented second time, is to begin the week of 8 February. continue to read

If the trial is successful it would allow the Senate to bar the former president from holding office in the future
Jan. 26 - The House of Representatives on Monday delivered an article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate – the first time in history an American president will face a second impeachment trial.
Though Trump is no longer in office, the trial is set to go ahead in February. If convicted, Trump could be barred from ever again holding public office, dealing a terminal blow to any hopes he may have of running again in 2024.
The charge originates from the former president’s incendiary speech to an angry mob before it assaulted the US Capitol in Washington on 6 January, and will thus unfold in the one of the chambers ransacked by his supporters. more details
