It’s the morning after the night before here in Washington.

Here are a few @Telegraph pieces if you’re looking to better understand impeachment....

1/
2/ Full news write-up of the night.

Mighty split screen moment as House made history with vote while Trump addressed cheering supporters at a rally.

Biggest surprise was presidential hopeful + Democrat Tulsi Gabbard refusing to back impeachment.

3/ How it played out in the chamber

It started with a prayer. Then came 8hrs of fierce debate with the Founding Fathers + the heavens invoked.

Eventually congressmen rushed forward holding signed red and green voting slips to decide Trump’s fate.

4/ How did it come to this?

I’ve done a long read on the whole impeachment saga, tracing it back to the fateful moment on July 25.

The day before the Russia saga had effectively ended when Mueller flopped on Capital Hill. Then Trump had a phone call...

5/ What next?

It’s over to Senate, where a 2-week trial deciding whether to remove Trump from office is expected next month.

Senators to sit like a silent 100-person jury. Head of Supreme Court is judge. 67 votes needed for removal. Unlikely to happen.
