The House appointed nine impeachment managers who will present the case against Trump on the Senate floor. Key players in the Senate impeachment trial prosecution and defence of former President Donald Trump. Trump's first impeachment trial, in which he was acquitted on charges that he abused power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate now-President Joe Biden, lasted almost three weeks. On the eve of the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, Rep. Madeleine Dean, one of the Democratic House impeachment managers, is escorted by security. The brief goes after the impeachment managers personally, charging that the Democrats have "Trump derangement syndrome," are "selfish" and are only trying to impeach Trump for political gain.
