Executives from the ruling and opposition parties have agreed on the immediate date of the impeachment trial of former US President Donald Trump.
There are voices within the ruling and Democratic parties concerned about the impact of the new Coronavirus, which the Biden administration is focusing on, on the deliberation of the economic measures bill, and there is widespread belief that the verdict will be issued next week.
On the 8th, senior officials from the ruling and opposition parties of the Senate, who are hearing the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump over the invasion of the US federal parliament, discussed and agreed on the future schedule.
According to the report, on the 9th, the first day of the hearing, some Republican lawmakers claimed that it would be unconstitutional to pursue the responsibility of the former president who had already retired in an impeachment trial. Members of both parties will hold a debate over the constitutionality of the impeachment trial.
And from the 10th, both the Democratic House of Representatives, who act as prosecutors, and the defense team of former President Trump will make an "opening statement" to state their claims for up to two days each.
At this time, neither side has made it clear whether they will call witnesses, and there is no prospect of a subsequent hearing.
However, within the Democratic Party, there are voices concerned about the impact of the prolongation of the impeachment trial on the deliberation of the economic measures bill of the new coronavirus, which the new administration emphasizes, and the Republican Party wants to end the trial as soon as possible. Because of his position, there is widespread belief that a verdict on whether former President Trump is guilty or not guilty will be issued by the end of next week.
