insurrection

The Senate trial began Tuesday on one article the House approved, charging former President Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection for the Capitol riot. Most senators want a short trial.

The record shows at least eight months of incendiary statements from then-President Trump and others close to him leading up to the insurrection at the Capitol.

House managers say the former president is responsible for the Jan. 6 riot. But Trump's attorneys argue that his "speech was never directed to inciting or producing any imminent lawless action."

The former president is accused of having incited a mob of his supporters on Jan. 6, leading to the insurrection at the Capitol.

Two men face federal conspiracy charges, and a third was indicted for obstructing an official proceeding.

In a separate filing due ahead of next week's trial, former President Donald Trump's defense team calls the impeachment effort unconstitutional and denies he incited the crowd on Jan. 6.

A Warren resident is facing charges for his alleged involvement in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Building Jan. 6. Stephen Ayres is charged with obstruction of justice, unlawful entry into restricted buildings and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Grounds.

U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Ohio) says forgoing a run for re-election does not change his approach to the upcoming impeachment trial of former President...

Sen. Rand Paul forced a vote on whether the Constitution allows the Senate to try a former president. Ahead of the trial it could indicate how many Republicans are open to voting to convict Trump.

In one very important way, it is not at all surprising that Rob Portman has decided to end his long career on Capitol Hill after two terms in the Senate.
