Trump impeachment, live: latest news

In a very heated atmosphere, this Tuesday New York welcomes a historic event. For the first time in the history of the U.S, a former president will appear in court as a defendant.. The hearing is scheduled to start around 14.00 local time (20.00 Spanish peninsular time), but the defendant, Donald Trump, will arrive at the Manhattan courthouse hours earlier to comply with all the formalities.

Before the rallies announced in favor of the former president.On Monday, the mayor of the city, Eric Adams, assured that the authorities have no indications that there could be “credible threats” to security. The police, however, announced that its officers are “ready to respond”. In fact, the city is armored, fenced in some areas and with street closures.

Some Republicans, such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have announced that they will participate in “a peaceful protest.” while a few days ago they deployed barricades in front of the courthouse where the hearing will be held. “I am in New York to protest because the judicial system is being used as a weapon against President Trump, who is innocent,” he said Tuesday on his Twitter account.
