The House will deliver the impeachment article against former President Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday. The action will start the process for the second trial the ex-president has faced for charges of high crimes and misdemeanors. While Trump has already left the White House, the Senate can vote to bar him from holding office again if it chooses to convict him. The House earlier this month charged Trump with inciting an insurrection against the government by inflaming a mob that overran the Capitol on Jan. 6. The riot, which disrupted Congress' count of President Joe Biden's electoral win, left five dead, including a Capitol police officer.

He had asked the House to send the article on Thursday. Trump has hired South Carolina attorney Butch Bowers to defend him during the trial.
