The House of Representatives will vote on Wednesday (January 15) to send the articles of impeachment against PresidentĀ Donald TrumpĀ to the Senate. TheĀ resolution will name the House members who will serve as managersĀ of the impeachment, and provide funding for the trial.
House SpeakerĀ Nancy PelosiĀ has not announced who will be named as managers. Their job will be toĀ prosecute the case against President TrumpĀ in the Senate trial, which will determine whether he is removed from office.
TheĀ House voted to impeach Trump on December 18, but Pelosi has been withholding the articles of impeachment overĀ concerns about how the Republican-controlled Senate would handle the trial.
"We want to see what they're willing to do, and the manner in which they will do it," Pelosi said. "But we will not let them say, 'This is just like Clinton, fair is fair.' It is not."
While it is unclear who will lead the case against Trump, a White House official told Fox News thatĀ the president's legal team is set. White House CounselĀ Pat CipolloneĀ will take the lead and will be helped byĀ Jay SekulowĀ as well asĀ Michael PurpuraĀ andĀ Patrick Philbin.
