A bill for impeachment of former President Trump, which passed the US House of Representatives on the 13th of last month, will be sent to the US Senate on Monday.
Unlike the procedure of the House of Representatives, which was carried out by a quick decision, the Senate’s impeachment trial decided to leave a two-week preparation period.

Earlier, the Republican Party requested that former President Trump needs time to prepare for an impeachment trial.

The Democratic Party also chose to focus on urgently urgent agenda items, such as the approval of new ministers and support for the Corona 19 economy.
The White House expected bipartisan cooperation, saying the impeachment was entirely a matter for Congress to decide.

The unprecedented situation of impeachment of the retired president has taken its breath away.
However, the Democratic Party says that only when the truth is revealed and someone takes responsibility for healing and unity is possible, and if impeachment is decided, it is also planning to prevent Trump from taking office in the future on the grounds of’incitement of civil war.
