US Speaker Nancy Pelosi yet to name impeachment managers for Trump's Senate trial

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she is t in a position to name her team for impeachment trial in Senate against US President Donald Trump. Pelosi took to Twitter informing House can t choose impeachment manrs until y kw what kind of trial Senate will conduct.

“President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from House, and from American people, on phony complaints about House process. What is his excuse w?” tweeted Pelosi.

trial is expected to begin in January but Pelosi is yet to send impeachment articles over to Senate. Congresswoman wants clarity on form on trial which led to a standoff with Senate majority leer Mitch McConnell.

Senate waiting for impeachment articles

McConnell, on or hand, wants to stick to procedure followed during impeachment proceedings of former President Bill Clinton. McConnell also criticised Pelosi for t physically sending over impeachment articles to Senate saying he can’t go ahe with trial without it. But Republic leer was convinced that re was or option for Pelosi and ‘sooner or later’ she is going to send m over. Trump called Pelosi ‘crazy’ for holding up Senate trial saying she has a “b case” and she is trying t to have a negative decision.

“ more time should be wasted on this Impeachment Scam!” Trump tweeted.

Re: History Will Judge You': Donald Trump In Letter To Nancy Pelosi

On December 18, Democrat-controlled House of Representatives voted in favour of first impeachment article, alleging misuse of power, 230 to 197. second article, accusing Trump of obstructing Congress, was voted by house in favour 299 to 198. Since majority of members of House of Representatives voted in favour of impeachment, Trump stands impeached but proceedings will w move to Senate.

Senate, controlled by Republicans, will w hold a trial under supervision of Chief Justice of Supreme Court. In trial, Senate will serve as jury and at least two-thirds of Senate have to vote in favour of removal. Before Trump’s impeachment, only two Presidents, Andrew Johnson in 1868, Bill Clinton in 1998, were impeached in history of United States but both got acquitted in Senate. Since Congress voted along party lines this time, it is highly likely that Trump will also get acquitted in Senate.
