Summary
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday unveiled a seven-member team to prosecute President Donald Trump at his impeachment trial in the Senate, headed by a former prosecutor who has become a nemesis of the Republican president.
Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, 59, will lead the House "managers" who will present the case to senators that Trump should be ousted for pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son and for obstructing the House investigation by refusing to provide requested testimony and documents.
Schiff spearheaded the House impeachment investigation launched in September into Trump's dealings with Ukraine and he is a frequent target of Trump attacks.
Other managers include Jerrold Nadler, 72, who crafted the two articles of impeachment against Trump, as House Judiciary Committee chairman.
