Your Evening Briefing: The Second Impeachment Trial of Donald Trump

The same U.S. Senate chamber overrun by a group of Donald Trump followers will on Tuesday convene as a constitutional court in the former president’s prosecution for incitement of insurrection. It will be an unprecedented second impeachment trial for a man accused of fomenting an unprecedented attack on the heart of American democracy while he was, as president, its leader. A year ago, when the Republican was tried for enlisting the help of foreign powers to win the 2020 election, many in his party declared him innocent before proceedings began. This time, despite the killing of a Capitol police officer and a brazen mass-assault that made words like sedition and attempted coup freshly relevant, continued support for the now-private citizen by much of his party makes acquittal likely. —David E.
