Democrats are voting today
At a press conference in Washington on Wednesday, Pelosi wants to announce which MPs should represent the charges in the Senate. The Secretariat and Justice Committee chairs Adam Schiff (59) and Jerry Nadler (72) are expected to be among them.

The House of Representatives had already decided four weeks ago to officially open impeachment proceedings with the majority of the Democrats. However, Pelosi has so far held back the charges of inconsistency with the Republicans over the proceedings in the Senate.
–
A vote in the House of Representatives on the submission of the charges and confirmation of the prosecutors is now expected for Wednesday afternoon. Both steps are a prerequisite for the formal launch of the Senate Impeachment Procedure, which the Republican majority leader in the Chamber, Mitch McConnell (77), is expecting this week.

Pelosi already messed up Trump’s last WEF
In the impeachment process, the Democrats apparently still have a wild symbol in their hands. They appear to have confidential phone information and other incriminating material that a man named Lev Parnas, who has connections to Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, has made available to the Intelligence Committee. Part of it has already been published on Twitter.

Not a good start for Trump’s first trip abroad since the Iran conflict broke out. Trump already bit his teeth on Pelosi around the WEF last year, Because the top democrat relentlessly stood up to him in the US budget dispute, the US president even had to cancel his participation in the WEF.

Trump’s trip to Switzerland this year is also marred by the news that he has no chance of portraying himself as a peace angel in Davos. Against the backdrop of the smoldering US-Iran conflict, the Iranian delegation has canceled its participation in the WEF.
