Trump's impeachment trial begins at 4:25 on January 22
An impeachment trial, which decides whether to remove President Trump of the United States, over the allegations of Ukraine has begun early in the morning of January 22, Japan time. Opposition Democrats claim that there has been "abuse of power" and "block of parliament," while President Trump is poised to fight head-on, and a fierce battle is likely to take place.
The opposition Democratic Democratic Party last month saw President Trump argue that there were `` power abuses '' that put pressure on Ukraine for its own political interests and `` parliamentary obstruction '' that hindered parliamentary investigations. He was impeached in the lower house.
In response, just after 3:00 am on January 22, Japan time, a trial of the impeachment trial to decide whether to dismiss the president in the Senate began.
On the first day, a resolution on how to proceed with the impeachment trial is expected to be reviewed and voted on, and the Republican Party, which takes the initiative in the Senate, spends a total of 24 hours each in a member of the House of Representatives acting as a public prosecutor and a lawyer `` , Etc. ".
Prior to the hearing, President Trump blamed the impeachment trial in Switzerland on January 21, saying, "It's embarrassing for years to go for witch hunts."
President Trump's lawyers have pleaded guilty to the fact that there is no legal problem with the behavior of the president and that it does not fall under "abuse of power" or "interference with parliament," indicating that he is ready to fight straight.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party said that "it is obvious from the evidence that there was power abuse," and it would like to summon Bolton's former assistant aide to the suspicion as a witness.
It is the third president of the United States to be charged with impeachment in history, and it is likely that a fierce battle between the ruling and opposition parties in the fall of the presidential election will take place in the Senate.
