Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Looms as Congress Returns
Secretary of Homeland Security to Testify Before House
Impeachment Resolution Hearing Scheduled for 1 PM
Washington, D.C. - The impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is set to begin at 1 PM on Tuesday, January 3, 2024. The hearing will be held in the Senate, where all 100 senators will be sworn in as jurors.
Mayorkas is facing impeachment charges related to his handling of the border crisis. Republicans have accused him of failing to secure the border and allowing a record number of migrants to cross into the United States illegally.
In February, the Republican-controlled House voted to impeach Mayorkas. The Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, will now hold a trial to determine whether or not to remove him from office.
Mayorkas has defended his handling of the border crisis, saying that he is doing everything he can to secure the border and manage the flow of migrants.
The impeachment trial is expected to last several days. The outcome of the trial is uncertain, but if Mayorkas is convicted, he will be removed from office.
