Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is likely to begin on January 21.

As foreign media reports, the trial will run six days a week, including Saturdays, but not Sundays.

The US House of Representatives charged Trump with “high crimes and misdemeanours” and impeached him for pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political rival.

Initiated by Pelosi on September 24, the House voted on two articles of impeachment against Trump: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

The US President denied those charges.
