House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confirmed that the House will vote to send two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate on Jan. 15. Her statement prompted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to announce that he expects the Senate trial to start next week.
In a statement, Pelosi wrote that Americans “deserve the truth, and the Constitution demands a trial,” saying that the House will vote to transmit the articles—abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—as well as to name House impeachment managers ahead of the Senate trial.
