The basicsWhat we’re expecting to see: The seven House managers will return to the Senate chamber to read aloud the articles of impeachment. When we’re likely to see it: The managers are expected to arrive for the reading at noon, and Chief Justice Roberts is expected around 2 p.m. By Senate rules, once Chief Justice Roberts is sworn in, a summons is to be issued to the president, who will have the opportunity to address the charges laid out in the articles of impeachment. The Senate is also expected on Thursday to set due dates for trial briefs from the House managers and the president’s counsel, providing some clarity on when initial filings must be submitted. Once summoned, Mr. Trump is expected to respond in written form.
