Donald Trump's impeachment trial opens as new Ukraine revelations emerge; US senators vow 'impartial justice'

Firstpost  

The US Senate opened the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump with a quiet ceremony Thursday, senators standing at their desks to swear an oath of ‘impartial justice’ as jurors, House prosecutors formally reciting the charges and Chief Justice John Roberts presiding Washington: The US Senate opened the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump with a quiet ceremony Thursday — senators standing at their desks to swear an oath of “impartial justice” as jurors, House prosecutors formally reciting the charges and Chief Justice John Roberts presiding. “Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws, so help you, God?” The senators responded they would, and then they lined up to sign an oath book. “The House of Representatives has accused the president of trying to shake down a foreign leader for personal gain.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the new information from Parnas demands an investigation, which she doesn’t expect from Trump’s attorney general. “This is an example of all of the president’s henchmen, and I hope that the senators do not become part of the president’s henchmen.” Before the swearing-in, House Democrats prosecuting the case stood before the Senate and Rep. Adam Schiff of the Intelligence Committee formally read the articles of impeachment.
