- On the week of January 13, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to finally transmit two articles of impeachment charging President Donald Trump with abusing his office and obstructing Congress to the US Senate.
- At Tuesday's Democratic caucus meeting, House Democrats are set to plan votes on resolutions to transmit the articles of impeachment to the US Senate and appoint impeachment managers this week.
- Playbook anticipates that the Senate will take around three to four days of "housekeeping" to set the rules and procedures for the trial before issuing a summons for Trump to enter a plea and appear.
- The exact timing and schedule of the trial will highly depend on whether the Senate calls key witnesses to testify, or if they hear no additional testimony and vote after hearing arguments from both sides.

On the week of January 13, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to finally transmit two articles of impeachment charging President Donald Trump with abusing his office and obstructing Congress to the US Senate.
Next, the Senate will hold a trial determining whether to convict Trump on those charges, which would result in Trump's removal from office. Both sides will present their cases to the senators, who act as jurors, while Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the hearings.See the rest of the story at Business Insider NOW WATCH: A law professor weighs in on how Trump could beat impeachment See Also: SEE ALSO: Everything you need to know about Trump's impeachment process: What's happened, who the players are, and what comes next  |
