Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday is expected to make clear his plan to bury without a trial the Republican House of Representatives’ impeachment of President Joe Biden’s top border official.

Republicans have prepared an assault on any move to dismiss the charges without a trial.
