House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced on Wednesday that Reps. Jerrold Nadler and Adam Schiff will be among the impeachment managers who will press the House’s 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 House’s 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, Trump’s personal lawyer, will lead Trump’s defense.
Pelosi’s 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.

Thank you for that tiny and logical counter-example.
How sad to see the GOP majority leader of the United States sentae lead around by the nose by the junior Senator from Utah. McConnell will surely go down in history as one of the least consequential Senate leaders.
More DNC Diversity?
I’ve never heard of half of these people.
This isn’t a criminal trail. It’s a political trial and the Senate can make up any rules it wants re: prosecutor/ witness.
Every Shakespearean play has comic relief characters...
It’s the exception that proves the rule.
This whole thing is a clusterf@@k. And a trap. Should have been no trial. They should have voted to dismiss before receiving the articles. I see collusion among McConnell, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Graham, maybe even Cruz which I hate to say. They can’t let him get reelected. McConnell will give cover for enough votes for removal. Sorry but that is the way I see it. And it all goes back to Barr. To me this proves he is a black hat through and through. And Hillary will waltz through a brokered convention and won’t have to run against Trump. God help us.
I wonder if they will be stuffing cash into the walls like during Watergate?
I will bet everyone else said “NO”
Yep, I want to see that thread unravel...
Can Nadler walk that far?
The Democrats cooked up this impeachment hoax, they are the enemy.
The GOP Senate did nothing but green light the impeachment hoax the past three months by steadfastly refusing to gather the conspiratorial facts at a hand.
POTUS: “When are the GOP going to start fighting back?”
Don Jr: “Where is Lindsay?”

For a long time I’ve posited there are enough RINOs and traitors to convict Trump, complete their communist coup d’etet and return to their normal corrupt structure.
Sadly, many freepers chose to attack these logical statements.
Hahahahahahahaha
In typical Democrat left wing fashion, the managers are chosen to illustrate diversity rather than competence
Too many blacks and too many women for window dressing
