'I think a full blown defense that says 'this is a hoax' and 'there's absolutely nothing to it,' will be difficult for them to sustain,' Senator Chris Coons said.
"I think a full blown defense that says 'this is a hoax' and 'there's absolutely nothing to it,' will be difficult for them to sustain," Coons argued.that she had asked the House Judiciary Committee to draw up formal articles of impeachment against Trump.
After the articles of impeachment are drawn up, it is widely believed they will be approved by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives. After that, the process will move to the Senate, which would prepare a trial for the president, overseen by Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, that could potentially lead to Trump's removal from office.
However, most analysts believe it is highly unlikely that the Republican-controlled chamber will vote to expel the president from the White House. A two-thirds majority is required to do so, and that would mean 20 Republicans—as well as every Democrat and independent—in the Senate would have to support the motion. There is also the possibility any senator could call for the dismissal of all charges against the president before a full trial is conducted.
