Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has officially locked in the schedule for the first few days of the Senate impeachment trial against President Trump after the House formally notified the chamber that it had appointed managers.
McConnell, speaking from the Senate floor, set up an agreement for the House managers to return to the Senate on Thursday at noon to formally present the articles of impeachment. The two articles are also expected to be read from the floor on Thursday.
Chief Justice John Roberts, under the deal which passed the Senate by unanimous consent, will arrive at 2 p.m. on Thursday when he will be sworn in to preside over the trial. Roberts will then swear in all 100 senators.
"For the information of all senators, a few minutes ago, the Senate was notified that the House of Representatives is finally ready to proceed with their articles of impeachment. So by unanimous consent, we have just laid some of the groundwork that will structure the next several days," McConnell said the Senate floor.
House staff and impeachment managers were closely followed as they walked across the Capitol on Wednesday evening to kick start the Senate trial, delivering a message announcing that the House had appointed managers to present the impeachment articles. House Democrats say they also handed over the articles.

Chief Justice Roberts has a conflict also. He is going to manage this to bury Trump and all the DS corruption associated with same. Mcconnell can vote to dismiss. How about the Dems missed the 25 day rule.
Schiff and Nadler will be lying their asses off. No one has asked for the Whisleblower or the ICIG(Atkinson). Dems have not turned over the transcripts from Atkinson’s testimony. Roberts can dismiss for that reason alone.
South Pole?
Pelosi Trench.
I’ll bet you they are all out celebrating tonight on our dime.
The Democrats want testimony.
Trump’s lawyers would need all the “witnesses’” names and contact info and time to investigate.
Can evidence of what he has done be brought up?
Since Nadler and Schiff are named managers can they still be called to testify? One way for these snakes to get out of it
And would God please have lightening bolts ready to strike them every time they lie?
I agree with Levin.
Schiff sworn in.. like it matters. He opens his mouth and all that comes out is shxt and lies.
America is officially a Banana Republic with a Soviet style system. We have flushed everything the Founders and other great Americans gave us.
“Those rumoured implants are headed to the South Pole.’
Pardon my naiveté but what’s the ‘headed to the South Pole”?
Yup. This charade could turn into a real mess. McConnell should call for a dismissal. Just watch these assholes... like a bunch of snarling jackals fighting over a dead carcass.
Official end to impeachment held hostage - it took 27 days.
I don’t trust Roberts.
All the money she has spent to try to look younger has made he look more like Michael Jackson.

Probably looking for the pre-need discount as the mortician won’t have a lot of work to do...
I have a feeling Mitch is going to end this quick.
Would it really matter if they were? These people violate oaths every day.
