Wie unterscheiden sich Trumps zwei Impeachment Verfahren?

By Jordi Bou

February 9, 2021 - Das zweite Impeachment Verfahren gegen den früheren Präsidenten Donald Trump zeigt Ähnlichkeiten zu dem im letzten Jahr, mit dem wichtigen Unterschied, dass er der erste ist, der vom Senat verklagt wird, nachdem er bereits aus dem Amt ausgeschieden ist.

Trump’s second impeachment trial will force the Senate to decide whether to convict him of incitement of insurrection after a violent mob of his supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6.

While Trump’s acquittal is expected, Democrats hope to gain at least some Senate Republican votes by linking Trump’s actions to a vivid description of the violence, which resulted in five deaths and sent lawmakers fleeing for safety.

A second impeachment acquittal by the Senate would be a victory for Trump — and would prove he retains considerable sway over his party, despite his efforts to subvert democracy and widespread condemnation from his GOP colleagues after Jan 6.
