Speaker Mike Johnson said House leaders will send the articles of impeachment for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate on April 10, which is expected to tee up a Senate trial as soon as the next day.
Johnson and 11 GOP-appointed impeachment managers, in a letter Thursday, asked Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., to schedule a trial “expeditiously.”
The sharply partisan Mayorkas impeachment, focused on U.S.-Mexico border policy, is the first for a Cabinet member in more than a century. Senate leadership has not said how they plan to handle the trial, which could start eating up Senate floor time as soon as April 11.
