Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Friday that former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial will begin on Feb. 9.

“For the information of all senators, the house managers will come to read the article of impeachment at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 25,” Schumer said. “Members will then be sworn in the next day, Tuesday, Jan. 26. After that, both the House managers and the defense will have a period of time to draft their legal briefs, just as they did in previous trials.”
