The second Trump impeachment trial date is set. What happens next?
No president had been impeached twice, and no president has been tried by the Senate after he left office - a question that divides constitutional scholars over what is legally permissible.
Washington | Former President Donald Trump’s historic second impeachment trial starts next month, but the process really begins on Monday (Tuesday AEDT), when the House sends the article of impeachment to the Senate and both sides begin preparing for a trial with many unknowns.
The House swiftly impeached Mr Trump on January 13, charging him with inciting an insurrection at the US Capitol the week before. In the trial, senators will vote to decide whether to convict or acquit Mr Trump.
