Lead House prosecutor Adam Schiff read the impeachment resolution and two charges against Trump in front of a somber Senate as that chamber held its first formal proceedings of the trial. Starting with the first article, Schiff read, “Donald J. Trump has abused the powers of the presidency“ in pursuit of personal political benefit.
All senators are required to be in their seats for the trial proceedings. Chief Justice John Roberts is scheduled to arrive at the Senate to swear in the members as an impeachment court.
