Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said that the House's article of impeachment will be delivered to the Senate on Monday, triggering the start of the Senate's impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
The blunder came as he told other lawmakers the House’s article of impeachment will be sent to the Senate Monday, initiating the start of Trump’s impeachment trial.
“But make no mistake: there will be a trial and when that trial ends, Senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John — Donald John Trump incited the erection — insurrection — against the United States,” Schumer said.
The comment quickly elicited a number of reactions from Twitter users.
“It was an uprising either way,” one person tweeted. “That will be hard to live down,” another person wrote.
What’s next for Trump’s Senate impeachment trial .
The House transmitted its article of impeachment to the Senate. Here’s what we know about the trial.That main action in that trial is still about two weeks away, set to start around February 9 (though we’ll be seeing documents — including Trump’s response to the charges — sooner.) Many details about how the trial will be structured and proceed remain unsettled, though it will likely be short. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday it will “move relatively quickly” because the Senate has “so much else to do” — for instance, confirming President Joe Biden’s nominees, and trying to pass a coronavirus relief bill.
