TODAY: Senate Gets Impeachment Article From House

The Washington Post reports:

House impeachment managers are planning to deliver an article of impeachment to the Senate on Monday, accusing Trump of “incitement of insurrection” for his role in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol by a violent mob, a takeover that left a Capitol Police officer and four rioters dead.

“Although I remain hopeful for our country after the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris, we must not give Donald Trump a pass for inciting a deadly insurrection on our Capitol just a few weeks ago,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a statement.

“He must be held accountable. The future of this country is at stake. The House has done its job by impeaching Trump, and now the Senate must complete the task by ensuring that he is never again in a position to directly harm the United States.”

House impeachment managers are set to deliver the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate today, accusing him of “incitement of insurrection.”
