Trump's first impeachment - 2020

In response to a senator’s question, Rep. Adam Schiff, said House Democrats are not trying to remove President Donald Trump from office in a political move meant to overturn the 2016 election. He said they chose to impeach the president quickly because he posed a threat to the integrity of U.S. elections.

Senators had their first chance to ask questions of the House managers and President Donald Trump’s legal team on Wednesday, Jan. 29. That came after both sides were given three days, respectively, to present their case. The House of Representatives impeached Trump in December on two articles — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The questions come ahead of a vote on whether to bring forward witnesses and documents as part of the Senate trial. The Senate must now decide whether to acquit the president or convict him of the charges and remove him from office.
