Donald Trump's impeachment trial began Thursday in high ceremony and amid vicious political division - as outside the Senate a series of new bombshells exploded in the Ukraine scandal.
At 2.10pm, John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States, was sworn in.
Chuck Grassley, the president pro-tempore administered the oath, saying: 'Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice, according to the Constitution and laws, so help you God?'

WNU Editor: The Democrats are hoping to duplicate what they did in the House in the Senate. The problem is that even though they controlled what witnesses could show up and the testimony that was provided in the House, it still bombed with President Trump's approval rating going up. Can they change this outcome in the Senate even though they do not control it? I doubt it. The only thing that is going to come out of this Senate trial is President Trump being acquitted with all Republicans backing the President, and the Democrats crying the process was unfair and the outcome was partisan. Memo to the Democrats. The process was already partisan, and no one likes a crybaby. But as an outside looking in I will admit this .... this impeachment is going to be great theatre, and we are going to see many American politicians and media pundits going nuts.
