Nancy Pelosi names the seven Democrats who will manage Donald Trump's Senate trial and puts Adam Schiff in the lead, saying it will be 'an impeachment that lasts forever'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (center) names the following impeachment managers: (from left) Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Sylvia Garcia, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Val Demings, Zoe Lofgren and Jason Crow
. . . "Pelosi chose all Democrats to serve as managers. There was a push by some to have her also select Rep. Justin Amash, a Republican-turned-independent who has sided with Democrats and supported Trump's impeachment.  
"McConnell says the Republican-led upper chamber will begin opening arguments in the impeachment hearing Tuesday next week. Members of Congress will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. 
"The House voted, almost entirely along party lines, last month to impeach Donald Trump.
"Pelosi then held the impeachment articles in the House, breaking with precedent in sending them immediately to the Senate following the vote.
"The California Democrat said she wanted to prove to the American people in that time that there was a need for witnesses in the Senate trial.
"She repeated that stance Wednesday morning during the brief press conference. 
'On December 18, the House of Representatives impeached the President of the United States. An impeachment that will last forever,' Pelosi began. 'Since December 18 there have been comments about when are we going to send the articles over.' 
"She said she had hoped the Senate would extend the 'courtesy' to tell the House 'what the process would be.' " . . .
