According to The New York Times, US lawmakers may suspend former US President Donald Trump’s impeachment process on the evening of February 12 if it lasts until then.
Trump’s lawyer David Schoen sent a letter to US Senate Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Upper House Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Patrick Leahy and asked that Friday night’s proceedings be suspended until Sunday due to the need to observe the Sabbath.
“We respect the request and will of course grant it. Consultations with stakeholders on the structure of the process are ongoing”, – said a spokesman for Chuck Schumer.
Former US president Donald Trump is being impeached over remarks on January 6, when his supporters stormed the Capitol building with the intention of preventing the confirmation of the election results, which took place on November 3.
