And now that presidency hangs in the balance with his historic impeachment trial about to get underway. The trial begins tuesday, and the democratic leader in the u. S. Senate is promising a battle. Chuck schumer seen right there told reporters sunday night he will push for more evidence on the abuse of power and obstruction of Congress Charges against the president.
