It should be noted that the Senate commenced her impeachment trial on Monday ( Yesterday) with an impassioned appeal for President Trump conviction for abuse of power.

The Cheif House prosecutor stated that “ You can’ t trust this president to do the right thing, ” in his closing speech on the Senate floor. “ He will not change and you know it .“ History will not be kind to Donald Trump, ” Schiff said.

He then urged the senators to find the “ courage to stand up to him . ”The California lawmaker told the 100 senators who will decide Trump ’s fate that the founders of the United States “ gave you a remedy and they meant for you to use it. ”

“ Now do impartial justice and convict him ,” he said .

The Senate is to vote at 4:00 pm ( 9pm GMT+1 ) on Wednesday on the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and the Republican president is all but certain of being acquitted .

It should be noted that the Republicans hold 53 seats in the Senate to 47 for the Democrats, but a two -thirds majority, or 67 senators, is needed to remove a president from office .
