US Senate begins Trump trial

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (YPA) – The second impeachment trial of former US President Donald Trump began on Tuesday in the Senate, provided that members of the House vote on the rules approved by the leadership to organize the trial.

Trump is the only US president to be tried twice , and the first impeachment trial took place last year on charges of abusing power and obstructing the work of Congress.

This second session comes after Democrats in the House of Representatives voted on January 13 to impeach Trump in the wake of the Capitol riots on January 6, accusing him of “inciting disobedience.”
