Daily News | Philly DA Larry Krasner’s impeachment trial will start in January, Pa. Senate says
Senators next week are also expected to vote on a resolution notifying Krasner of the charges against him and giving him until Dec. 21 to respond in writing, Clayton Wright said.
Krasner will then be summoned to appear at his trial, which is expected to begin Jan. 18. Clayton Wright did not say how long the trial might last nor how exactly it was expected to unfold. Removal from office would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate, where Republicans will hold 27 of 50 seats next year.
“The Senate’s Constitutional obligations are clear, so we are prepared to fulfill our duties and continue the impeachment process,” Jake Corman, the outgoing Senate President Pro Tempore, said in a statement. It also was not immediately clear Wednesday if Krasner might seek to challenge the impending proceedings in court. The DA has repeatedly slammed the drive to remove him as illegal and anti-democratic, and has
questioning the validity of a legislative committee looking for grounds to impeach. On Monday, Krasner said he was considering other legal challenges, though he didn’t provide details.
