House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Wednesday that Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff will be among the impeachment managers who will press the Houses case against President Trump during a Senate trial.
Today is the day that we name the managers, we go to the floor to pass the resolution to transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, she said.
Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Schiff, the head of the House Intelligence Committee, played crucial roles in the Houses impeachment inquiry into Trump last fall.
Others include Reps. Zoe Lofgren, Hakeem Jeffries and Val Demmings, Jason Crow, Sylvia Garcia.
The House managers are expected to personally deliver the articles to the Senate later Wednesday.
White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Jay Sekulow, Trumps personal lawyer, will lead Trumps defense.
Pelosis announcement comes just hours before the House will vote on releasing the two articles of impeachment for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress to Senate so a trial can get underway.
The speaker has been holding up delivering the articles since the House voted on Dec. 18 to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to release the framework of how a trial would be conducted, call witnesses to testify and not hold a vote to dismiss.

Is this to keep Schiffhead from having to testify under oath alongside his whistlesucker?
Exactly. He must recuse himself.
nah-baby-nah.
The leftwing GOP RINOs don’t need any help to be idiot traitors and useful idiots.
And won’t it be fun when the GOP calls him as the biggest “fact witness” if/when it’s decided to call witnesses?
Well the little pencil neck will be easy to find
No-Nads Nadler and ADumb Schitt .
There should be at least one member of “the squad”, if not all four.
This should be AWESOME!
Queen Sheila Jackson-Lee got robbed!
If you look at the members of the Congressional Blavk Caucus, they passed up some real notables for a couple of back-benchers. Just whitey doin’ dem da way whitey’s always did, I guess.
How will they handle Schiff getting called as a witness, or Blowy and/or the intelligence IG taking the stand?
I think Sekulow is going to kill.
Should be fun.
They are embarrassed enough
That’s why they picked him.
To complicate him getting called
We have a covey of usual suspects who attack Republicans whenever the Democrats hands’ get caught in the cookie jar. Are they trolls? I don’t know, but they are certainly not very bright and they ought to take their hatred of our side elsewhere.
Having Shifty Schiff as a manager, does this mean he can’t be called to testify about all his outright lies and wild claims of facts and evidence?
Stop your trolling. No doubt you are a never Trumper and have come here to spread misinformation and lies! The GOP has fully supported Trump in this area and there is no way the Senate gets the necessary 2/3 votes to convict.
LOL...
You could not be more wrong if you tried.
Clearly, you and others refuse to accept Cocaine Mitch is an Establishment RINO and CANNOT BE TRUSTED.
Paul Sperry sees that reality and tweeted his warning.
It’s not rocket science...
Is there a book in Vegas, on the “Impeachment”?
