Senators expect to receive the articles of impeachment against President Trump from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday and then to be sworn in as jurors on Thursday ahead of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
Pelosi says the House will vote Wednesday to send the two articles across the Capitol to begin the trial, and Senate rules require the trial to begin at 1 p.m. the day after the articles are presented to the chamber.
GOP leaders also hope to pivot on Thursday to votes on a bipartisan resolution to limit Trump’s ability to escalate hostilities with Iran and to approve the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal.
