When the second impeachment trial into former President Trump kicks off, an exclusive group of lawmakers from the House of Representatives will be tasked with arguing for President Trump’s conviction.
The former president faces one charge: incitement of insurrection.
“The days are long. You go sometimes until midnight or beyond, and then you get up very early the next morning and do it again,” reflected Rep. Jason Crow.
Last year, Crow was one of the seven House impeachment managers representatives working as prosecutors to argue the case for President Trump’s conviction to the jury: all 100 members of the U.S. Senate.
Updated on January 27, 2021. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) was taken to a Washington, D.C.-area hospital Tuesday afternoon after feeling ill at his Capitol office.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, the president pro tempore of the Senate, said Wednesday that he went to the hospital Tuesday night because of "muscle spasms" he had been experiencing.
