Washington-Sana
Today, the US Senate officially launched the trial of President Donald Trump aimed at removing him, on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
According to Agence France-Presse, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, who appointed the chief prosecutor at the trial, began the procedures by reading the accusatory decision against Trump, which states, "Donald Trump, President of the United States, has been accused of serious crimes and misdemeanors," noting in particular the two accusations leveled by the House of Representatives in the 18th. From December, they were using power and impeding the work of Congress.
Earlier in the day, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed that the Trump administration had violated the law by withholding aid from Ukraine that Congress had passed in pressuring Kiev to open an investigation into Joe Biden, one of his most prominent Democratic rivals in the upcoming presidential election.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also announced today that the Senate received the accusatory decision against President Trump in preparation for his trial with the intention of removing him from his post, after the US House of Representatives agreed in a vote yesterday to refer the accusatory decision against Trump to the Senate in preparation for the start of this trial .
