impeachment trial

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski will face voters in 2022, but her state's new primary and voting system likely means she'll be in less danger of losing her primary.

The trial of the former president concluded on Saturday with an acquittal of the former president.

The former president is being tried on one article of impeachment saying he incited the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Videos shown during the proceedings may contain profanity and violence.

Trump disparaged Pence in a tweet while the insurrection was going on. GOP senators asked what Trump knew about Pence's status when Trump tweeted.

"This isn't a blood sport. It's not about entertainment. It's about reporting the facts to the American people," David Schoen told Fox News.

Many of the statements referenced in the Senate impeachment trial appear in the criminal cases against the alleged rioters.

Six Republicans voted with all Democrats to advance the Senate impeachment trial.

Attorneys David Schoen and Bruce Castor Jr. will help defend the former president in next week's trial before the Senate on one article of impeachment, "incitement of insurrection."

Some Republicans are arguing that former President Donald Trump should not face a Senate impeachment trial because he's a private citizen. That was argued before — and rejected narrowly — in 1876.
