WATCH: Impeachment trial of President Donald Trump begins
WASHINGTON (AP) - WATCH: The Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump began Tuesday.
Senators like to float above messy politics in what's known by some as the dignified “upper chamber," home of Congress' cooler heads and lofty rhetoric.
But as a court of President Donald Trump's impeachment, the Senate beginning Tuesday might seem more like the economy cabin of an oversold flight on an especially tense, mandatory work trip.
Rock star legal teams will cram the airy well of the chamber just a few feet from each other and Chief Justice John Roberts.
Four television screens will take up rarified space, staff will snap up seats near the wall, and a podium will stand at the center aisle.
