The Senate trial will begin in the New Year.
House Democrats’ effort to impeach President Donald Trump is ramping up as the year winds down, putting the Republican-led Senate on track to hold a trial on the charges against him as the new year begins.
Neither Johnson nor Clinton was found guilty in an ensuing impeachment trial in the Senate, and that’s expected to happen for Trump, whose Republican Party controls 53 of the chamber’s 100 seats. That helps explain why the stock market DJIA, +0.01% SPX, +0.01% hasn’t reacted much lately to impeachment-related developments.
The Democrats’ impeachment effort centers on Trump’s pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations into Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as into a theory that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry on Sept. 24.
