"Mayorkas Impeachment Trial Delayed by GOP Senators"

House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed the impeachment trial of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas until next week, prompting the Senate to start the trial on Tuesday. The trial was originally scheduled to start on the same day the Senate was set to depart for the week. The impeachment articles charge Mayorkas with "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and breach of public trust, but Democrats and some GOP lawmakers argue that the charges do not amount to high crimes and misdemeanors. Senate Majority Leader Schumer plans to move to dismiss or table the trial, but some Republicans intend to introduce procedural roadblocks to influence the process.
