A trial in the Senate cannot begin until Pelosi sends the articles of impeachment to the Senate. In a surprise move, she declined to name impeachment managers or send the articles to the Senate following House votes on impeachment before Christmas.
Earlier Thursday, McConnell said that the Senate would move to other legislative activities next week if Pelosi doesn’t send over the articles soon.
