President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial is likely to get fully underway next week, a senior Senate Republican said, following a unique series of rituals that include a procession of House managers carrying the two articles through the Capitol Rotunda to the Senate chamber.
Senator John Cornyn of Texas said he expects opening arguments on Jan. 21. “Tuesday is what it’s feeling like,” he told reporters Monday.
