Liz Cheney urges Trump investigation
CNN reported on the 7th that the ruling Democratic Party and the opposition Republican both announced their intention to proceed with the impeachment trial as soon as possible ahead of the Senate’s impeachment hearing of former US President Donald Trump, which will be held from the 9th. The Democratic Party is in a hurry to pass a $1.9 trillion-dollar new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) support plan and approval of the minister, and the Republican Party also wants to draw a line with former President Trump.
In the Senate’s impeachment trial, which is similar to the criminal trial, the Democratic House of Representatives who led the approval of the impeachment prosecution on the 13th of last month take on the role of prosecutors, and the delegation of former President Trump defends him. The Democrats initially demanded the presence of former President Trump, but the delegates refused. A separate witness newspaper is unlikely to be conducted. Considering this, there are many prospects that it will take about one week, which is much shorter than the three-week period for the impeachment hearing of former President Trump due to the so-called Ukraine scandal earlier last year. The political media Politico reported that the impeachment hearing would not last more than a week.
It is also unlikely that the former President Trump will actually be impeached. Democrats and Republicans each hold 50 out of 100 seats in the Senate. The public opinion is that a rebellion vote of at least 17 votes from the Republican Party must be issued for the two-thirds vote necessary to pass the impeachment, but that is not likely. Senator Lindsey Graham, a senior Republican leader, told CBS “I don’t doubt the rejection of impeachment.” However, Republican Congressman Liz Cheney, who voted in favor of the House’s impeachment bill on the 13th of last month, insisted that the former President of Trump should also be investigated in the unprecedented invasion of Congress by Trump supporters on the 6th of last month. He is the eldest daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who served as Vice President in George W. Bush’s administration, but insists the Republican Party should break up with former President Trump. “There will be a major investigation into the incident on the 6th of last month, and people want to know exactly what President Trump did at the time,” Cheney told Fox News. There are many questions he has to answer.”
