US President Trump predicts his impeachment trial in US Senate will not take long while rejecting charges against him as 'a hoax'
Trial of Donald Trump kicks off as lawmakers take solemn oath to be"impartial" in deciding whether to force 45th US president from office.
"Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and the laws, so help you God," Roberts said. "In his conduct of the office of president of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional oath ... Donald J Trump has abused the powers of the presidency," Representative Adam Schiff said as he began reading from the first article of impeachment.
"A chill ran down my spine when Schiff said the words 'high crimes and misdemeanors.' Heavy times," tweeted Democrat Senator Chris Murphy after leaving the chamber.
