The US House of Representatives has officially delivered the articles of impeachment to the Senate, charging former President Donald Trump with inciting insurrection at the Capitol earlier this month.
The Senate accepted the document, known as the article of impeachment, and set Feb 9 for beginning the trial, making Trump the second president in US history to face such a trial and the only to face it twice.
In an interview to CNN, US President Joe Biden said he was aware that the trial could have repercussions but “I think it has to happen. There would be a worse effect if it did not happen.”
