Pelosi's announcement of the managers comes nearly a month after the chamber voted to impeach Trump on two charges: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tapped seven Democrats, including Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, to serve as impeachment managers in the upcoming Senate trial against President Donald Trump.
Congressional Democrats wanted the upper chamber to agree to call more witnesses, such as former national security adviser John Bolton, before the trial began. But McConnell had enough votes in the Senate to move forward and setting trial rules without meeting those demands. "The American people will fully understand the Senate's move to begin the trial without witnesses and documents as a pure political cover-up," she said during a press conference on Tuesday."Leader McConnell and the president are afraid of more facts coming to light."
Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, controlled the impeachment probe in its earliest stages. The California Democrat released the initial report detailing all the evidence unearthed by House investigators during its probe into Trump's dealings with Ukraine. The report alleged that Trump leveraged a White House meeting and nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine in exchange for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
