After weeks of stagnation, the impeachment proceeding against US President Donald Trump is resuming. Tonight (Wednesday), the procedure is expected to be officially passed in the Senate, where the trial will begin this Tuesday.

Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces seven congressmen from her party who will lead the lawsuit, led by Adam Schiff, one of Trump's biggest enemies. The 59-year-old Schiff, head of the House Intelligence Committee and who led the Democratic impeachment inquiry A team of six other congressmen from his party, including Jerry Nedler, Hakim Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren, and Al Demingz, Jason Crow and Sylvia Garcia.

Chairman Pelosi explained that the choice of seven stemmed from their ability to present a compelling argument when Schiff, for example, was a federal prosecutor. "The emphasis is on presenting the strongest case to uphold and defend our Constitution, to reveal the truth to the American people," Pelosi stated. " The emphasis is on litigators, people who are comfortable in court. "

With the announcement of the prosecution procedures, the House of Representatives is expected to vote and approve tonight's nominations and to formally indict the Senate. The announcement of Democratic judges came four weeks after the president's ouster was approved in the House of Representatives. Since Congress members voted on the impeachment, Pelosi refrained from sending the charge to the Senate, claiming she wanted to make sure the Senate trial was fair.

Upon approval of the executive appointment, the ceremonial phase of the impeachment trial will begin when prosecutors physically march to the Senate when they have the indictment. Senators and Chief Justice John Roberts, who will oversee the conduct of the hearing, will be officially sworn in.

Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said real hearings in the case are expected to begin as early as Tuesday, Jan. 21. The trial is expected to last for weeks, during which Democratic prosecutors will present their arguments to the senators, after which the president's attorneys will interpret the defense.

Of course, the sentence is largely symbolic, as Republicans hold a majority in the Senate. In order to oust an incumbent president, the impeachment case needs the support of at least two-thirds of senators, an imaginary scenario in the current Congress, with none of the Republican senators so far showing a willingness to vote in favor.

In the meantime, further details remain to be revealed about the "Ukraine-Gate" affair at the center of impeachment proceedings. New documents released from the impeachment investigation have revealed that Rudy Giuliani's colleague - the president's personal attorney - has spoken to a Republican politician about the possibility of following Marie Jovanovich, who was the US ambassador to Ukraine and ousted by Trump last year. According to the documents, Robert Hyde, a staunch supporter and supporter of President Trump himself in congress on Connecticut, exchanged text messages with Giuliani's colleague Lev Frances - who has since been arrested - and offered to follow Jovanovich, whom Giuliani hoped to remove.
