House prosecutors walked the article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday night, setting the stage for a trial to begin Feb. 9.
Nine House members led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., will serve as prosecutors, who are called managers, in the trial.
House Democrats were joined by 10 Republicans in voting Jan. 13 to charge Trump with inciting insurrection at the Capitol a week earlier after a riot left five people dead. A violent mob smashed windows and doors while storming the building and occupying offices, including the Senate chamber, where the trial will be held.

It appears that a lawyer who works for the Department of Justice was in cahoots with Donald Trump, with the pair concocting a plan to both remove Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen and use the DOJ’s influence to make Georgia state lawmakers invalidate its presidential election results.
The New York Times reports that the lawyer, Jeffrey Clark, had been working alongside Trump to sow distrust into the election results and aid his legal fight to overturn the election. When Rosen had declined to help Trump accomplish his plans, the former president was reportedly mulling whether to replace Rosen with Clark.

The Department of Homeland Security looked the other way. So did the Pentagon. The FBI collected reports of violence and criminal activity but took no action. The U.S. Capitol Police wrote a threat assessment that President Trump s supporters were disappointed and desperate, that they might become violent. They were all monitoring social media. But only the District of Columbia government and police went on alert; no one else otherwise prepared. That s because government and military officials were afraid.
