We begin with President Trump becoming the third president in u. S. History to be impeached. The house voted mostly along party lines charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. But this morning theres new uncertainty about the impeachment timetable going forward.

Mcconnell, the Senate Majority leader, felt like he wanted a quick trial, but didnt want to bring in new witnesses and was able to prevail upon the white house that that was the best way to go.
