Washington Jan 16 (UNI) Businessman and a Republican donor Lev Parnas, who himself has been indicted for election campaign finance violations has said that President Donald Trump knew about the efforts to pressurise Ukrainian officials to investigate Joe Biden.
President Trump allegedly froze military aid to Ukraine to influence it to probe his political rival Joe Biden in order to influence the 2020 presidential elections. The Senate proceedings for impeachment of President Trump will start on Tuesday with the hearing of arguments from the House managers and White House counsel. On Thursday US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was sworn-in to preside over the trial. Congressmen Adam Schiff, Val Demings, Jerrold Nadler, Hakeem Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren, Jason Crow and Sylvia Garcia will serve as the House prosecutors in the impeachment trial, they too were sworn in by Justice Roberts.
The American constitution requires a two-thirds majority ie: 67 votes in the Senate to convict and remove a serving President from office. On December 19, 2019 the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
