For two weeks, public hearings have been held in the US House of Representatives. There are now no more public hearings planned. If no unplanned hearings are forthcoming, the House of Representatives is expected to decide in the next few weeks whether or not Donald Trump will stand before the state Senate.

Whether this will happen is unclear. The House Speaker, Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi, says she herself is convinced that Trump is guilty. But she does not want to give a straight answer as to whether the president will really be facing national law.

"No, we haven't made a decision yet," she said on Thursday.

Skips important interrogations

The Democrats have so far been criticized for the fact that several people, who should have known about it, have not been heard in the House of Representatives.

Trump's lawyer Rudolph Giuliani has, according to witnesses, played a leading role in the president's alleged blackmail of Ukraine. But he has not been interrogated. Neither has Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo, among others.

It's not about the Democrats having been uninterested in hearing them. However, Pelosi says, they do not intend to wait for lengthy legal processes in an attempt to force them to testify.

Trump hopes for national law

If the House of Representatives decides that the President should be put before the national court, the process goes on to the Senate. This is where the decision is made if Donald Trump is dropped or released. He himself seems to hope that the process will continue.

"President Trump wants a trial in the Senate because it's the only chamber where he can expect justice," said Hogan Gidley, spokesman for the White House according to Reuters.

He continues:

- There we can expect to finally hear from witnesses who have really seen something and possibly also participated in corruption. For example, Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and the so-called whistleblower, to name a few.

Adam Schiff is the Democrat who has led the process in the House of Representatives. Joe and Hunter Biden are the Democratic presidential candidate and his son - whom Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate in the phone call.

Unlike in the House of Representatives, Republicans have a majority in the Senate. In addition, a two-thirds majority is required for him to be felled, and there are few, if any, who believe it can really happen. Instead, Republicans there will have the opportunity to take over the process and begin the 2020 election by interrogating the people they think should speak.
