WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the
impeachment managers for the trial against President Donald
Trump in the Senate in a press conference on Wednesday morning.

Pelosi selected representatives Adam Schiff of California, Jerry
Nadler of New York, Val Demmings of Florida, Hakeem Jeffries of
New York, Jason Crow of Colorado, Sylvia Garcia of Texas and Zoe
Lofgren of California. The managers are a diverse group with
legal, law enforcement and military courtroom experience.

The seven-member prosecution team will be led by chairmen Schiff
of the House impeachment proceedings and Intelligence Committee,
as well as Nadler of the Judiciary Committee. They are two of
Pelosi’s top lieutenants for only the third presidential
impeachment in the nation’s history.

“Today is an important day,” said Pelosi, flanked by the team.
“This is about the Constitution of the United States.”

The Speaker said she is “very proud and honored” that the seven
“distinguished” members have accepted the responsibility to
protect and defend the constitution.

The impeachment managers each spoke after the House Speaker
during the press conference, underscoring the importance of
witnesses and documents.

“In America, no one is above the law,” Jeffries said.

Democrats are also preparing for Wednesday's House vote to send
the Trump impeachment articles to the Senate.

Ahead of the vote to approve the team and transmit the articles
of impeachment, Schiff released new records from Lev Parnas, an
associate of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, about the Ukraine
strategy. including an exchange with another man about
surveilling later-fired Ambassador Maria Yovanovitch.

"If McConnell makes this the first trial in history without
witnesses, it will be exposed for what it is and that is an
effort to cover up for the president,” Schiff said.

Schiff said the new evidence should bring more pressure on
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is reluctant to
allow witnesses to testify.

During Pelosi's press conference, Trump tweeted that impeachment
was “another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats. All of this
work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!”

Under Pelosi, the House voted Dec. 18 to impeach Trump on
charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress stemming
from his conduct toward Ukraine.

"He has been impeached forever. Nothing can erase that," Pelosi
said referring to Congress holding the president accountable.

After Wednesday's House vote to send the articles of impeachment
to the Senate for trial, the managers are to walk the articles
across the Capitol to the Senate in a dramatic procession.

The other presidents who have been impeached are Bill Clinton
and, in 1868, Andrew Johnson. President Richard Nixon resigned
before the House could impeach him.

Pelosi delayed the transmission of the articles to the Senate,
holding out for more specific terms of the trial.

The Senate is expected to transform into an impeachment court as
early as Thursday, although significant proceedings wouldn't
begin until next Tuesday after the Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday. The Constitution calls for the chief justice to preside
over senators, who serve as jurors and swear an oath to deliver
"impartial justice.''
