WASHINGTON (AP) In a dramatic procession across the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats carried the formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate late Wednesday, setting the stage for only the third trial to remove a president in American history.
Trump complained anew it was all a hoax, even as fresh details emerged about his efforts in Ukraine.
The ceremonial pomp and protocol by the lawmakers prosecuting the case against Trump moved the impeachment out of Speaker Nancy Pelosis Democratic-run House to the Republican-majority Senate, where the presidents team is mounting a defense aiming for swift acquittal.
Today we will make history,? Pelosi said as she signed the documents, using multiple pens to hand out and mark the moment. This president will be held accountable.
