US Federal House officials on Monday handed over documents to the Senate regarding a constitutional impeachment suit against former President Donald Trump, which is set to decide whether to hold the president accountable.
The impeachment procedure is very similar to a court hearing where the House of Representatives claims the prosecution and the House and Senate conduct the trial and decide whether the charge is justified and whether the president should be held accountable.
Trump was accused of fomenting the revolt by the vote of Democrats and many Republican politicians
Because of his fiery speech at a rally before the Capitol attack in early January. His followers then stormed the Legislature Building, as the Senate was about to ratify the November presidential election result that Trump lost. Several people were killed in the attack on the Capitol, including a police officer.
