Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the team of House Democrats who will serve as managers in President Donald Trump‘s impeachment trial.
The managers, who will effectively prosecute the case against the President, include Adam Schiff (California), Jerry Nadler (New York), Zoe Lofgren (California), Hakeem Jeffries (New York), Jason Crow (Colorado), Val Demings (Florida) and Sylvia Garcia (Texas).
The house will vote later today to send the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for a trial, which is set to begin next Tuesday. (NBC News)

Hot Takes:
- It’s no surprise that Schiff and Nadler made the team.
- During Bill Clinton‘s impeachment trial, there were 13 House managers.
- We still don’t know how the trial will go regarding the rules and witnesses.
- Donald Trump was watching Pelosi’s press conference and tweeted, “Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats. All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!”
