House Officially Presents Article Of Impeachment To The Senate

House impeachment managers led by the House Clerk and the Acting House Sergeant at Arms walked the article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the Senate floor on Monday night.

The group of impeachment managers brought the article from the House side to the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol, presenting them to the Senate so they can begin their trial. Democratic Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, who will preside over Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate instead of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, accepted the article from the impeachment managers.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Friday that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would have her impeachment managers deliver the article of impeachment against Trump to the Senate on Monday.
