This past Monday at 7 p.m. eastern, the House managers walked the Articles of Impeachment down to the Senate chamber. This officially marked the formal process of impeachment in the Senate.
The delivery comes from negotiations between now Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Further, the negotiated schedule included a two-week delayed start date of February 8. According to Politico, the rules also stipulate that President Trump’s legal team “will have until February 2 to answer the articles and House managers will submit their pre-trial brief the same day. Trump’s pre-trial brief will then be due February 8 and the House will have until February 9 for their rebuttal, which will allow for the trial to officially begin.”
