Early Procedural Test Shows Where Senate GOP May Stand On Convicting Trump

The managers also detail in their brief that the Constitution allows for taking action against a private citizen for conduct during their term. Last week, all but five Republican senators voted in favor of a motion saying Trump’s trial, now that he’s out of office, is unconstitutional.

The 80-page document was required as part of the Senate resolution laying out deadlines for both the managers and Trump’s defense team. The trial, with senators as jurors, is set to begin next week.

The managers appointed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are: Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who will lead the team; Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado; Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island; Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas; Rep. Eric Swalwell of California; Rep. Ted Lieu of California; Del. Stacey Plaskett, from the Virgin Islands; Rep. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania; and Rep. Joe Neguse of Colorado.
