Schumer To Dems: Show Up As Mayorkas Trial Jurors

The Hill reports:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a letter to his Democratic colleagues that the chamber has a “busy agenda” coming up. But first, the chamber is expected to deal with the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

“Please be advised that all Senators will be sworn in as jurors in the trial the day after the articles are presented, and Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray will preside,” he said. “I remind Senators that your presence next week is essential.”
