How To Watch House Impeachment Hearing On TV & Online

The Deadline Team
·2 min read

UPDATED with more details: It was just 13 months ago that the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump for abuse of power in the Ukraine phone-call scandal and the Russia investigation. He was acquitted in a Senate trial weeks later. Not that there’s been much news here or around the world since, but the Democrat-controlled House is meeting Wednesday to vote on a new article of impeachment against POTUS 45.

This time, the House is voting to impeach Trump on grounds of “incitement of insurrection” over his role in last week’s assault on the U.S. Capitol. It would be the first time a U.S. president is impeached twice. If convicted by the Senate, Trump could be disqualified from running for public office again.
