U.S. Senate honors police officer who protected lawmakers in riot

U.S. Senate honors police officer who protected lawmakers in riot

WORLD
MAKINI BRICE AFTER hours of heated arguments in former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, lawmakers found a rare moment of consensus when the U.S. Senate voted to award the highest honor Congress can bestow to one of the police officers who responded to the January 6 Capitol siege. By unanimous consent, the Senate passed a measure to give the Congressional Gold Medal to officer Eugene Goodman of the U.S. Capitol Police force.

The Senate voted 56-44 to proceed to the first-ever trial of a former president, rejecting his defence lawyers' argument that Trump was beyond the reach of the Senate after having left the White House on January 20. Democrats hope to disqualify Trump from ever again holding public office, but Tuesday's outcome suggested they face long…

Trump’s coming impeachment trial aggravates rift among Republicans

Trump’s coming impeachment trial aggravates rift among Republicans

WORLD
SUSAN CORNWELL THE coming second impeachment trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting the deadly storming of the Capitol has aggravated a rift among his fellow Republicans that was on full display on Sunday. At least one Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, said he believed the trial, which could lead to a vote banning Trump from future office, was a necessary response to the former president's inflammatory call to his supporters to "fight" his election defeat before the Jan. 6 attack. Ten Republicans joined the House of Representatives in voting to impeach Trump on a charge…
