House managers argue senators have a 'duty' to remove Trump from office. Impeachment trial live updates:
Senate Democrats are floating the idea of censuring Trump if he is acquitted in his impeachment trial as expected on Wednesday.
Bennet also argued that Trump had stonewalled Congress more than any president including Richard M. Nixon and the Senate should voice its disapproval.Van Hollen said that Republican senators need to do more than voice quiet disapproval of Trump’s actions. Meadows also said that House Democrats were driven by partisan politics in their decision to pursue Trump’s impeachment.
Sen. Joni Ernst sought Monday to clarify comments from the weekend in which she raised the possibility that Biden could be impeached if elected president for his conduct related to Ukraine. “The Democrats have set the bar so low for impeachment that it doesn’t matter who the next president could be, depending on which party is in charge in Congress, that we could see an ever-constant rotation of impeachment proceedings, and I don’t think that is in the benefit for the United States people,” Ernst said.
Jill Biden, the wife of the former vice president, said Monday that Republican attacks on Hunter Biden during the impeachment process have been “just disgraceful.” “Hunter has done nothing wrong. Why would Hunter be called?” Jill Biden said. “It’s been very hurtful. So we’re just moving forward. We knew Trump would be tough, and we knew he would probably tell lies, as he continues to do, and we were ready for it.”
The Senate is expected to vote to acquit Trump late Wednesday afternoon. In the meantime, senators will be given time to make floor speeches about the articles of impeachment against Trump.As the Senate hears final arguments in his impeachment trial, Trump has no public events planned on Monday. The only appointment on his calendar advertised by the White House is lunch with Vice President Pence.
