House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has named nine managers for the likely impeachment trial of President Trump. The news comes just minutes after Vice President Mike Pence rejected calls to remove Trump from office using the 25th Amendment.

“Tonight, I have the solemn privilege of naming the Managers of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump,” Pelosi said in a statement. “It is their constitutional and patriotic duty to present the case for the President’s impeachment and removal. They will do so guided by their great love of country, determination to protect our democracy and loyalty to our oath to the Constitution. Our Managers will honor their duty to defend democracy For The People with great solemnity, prayerfulness and urgency.”
