Comienza el juicio político de Trump en el Senado

By Jordi Bou

January 21, 2020 - En las próximas semanas, 100 legisladores del Senado de EUA decidirán si el presidente Donald Trump debe ser retirado de su cargo por procurar la intervención de Ucrania en la carrera presidencial 2020.

The Senate will begin the impeachment trial on Tuesday at 1pm, starting with a vote on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s organizing resolution.

After lawmakers hear from both sides – House prosecutors and White House counsel – and any witnesses, they will be given a full day to deliberate before a vote on conviction is held.

A two-thirds majority is required to convict and oust Mr Trump. Given that Republicans control the 100-seat chamber with a 53-47 majority, the president is widely expected to be acquitted.
