The
100-member body of the US senate on Tuesday swore an oath to do “impartial
justice” in the unprecedented second impeachment trial of Donald Trump.
Presiding
over the trial, senator Patrick Leahy, the Senate pro tempore, administered the
oath collectively.
“I do,” the
senators said in unison.
Late Monday
night, the House of Representatives formally delivered the article of
impeachment charging Trump with “incitement of insurrection” for his incendiary
speech before a mob of loyalists who attacked the US capitol on 6 January.
After the
swearing in, Senate leaders have agreed to a two-week pause in the trial, in
order to give Biden time to assemble his cabinet and Trump’s team time to
prepare his defense. The trial is scheduled to resume the week of 8 February,
