The Trump impeachment proceedings are underway in the Senate after House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving led a procession of Democratic “managers” across the Capitol on Thursday afternoon and the upper chamber formally received the articles of impeachment.

The proceedings mark the formal start of the Trump impeachment trial a day after the House transmitted the articles of impeachment to the Senate.

At noon, the Senate recognized the House managers who will prosecute the case against President Trump. The body then began a formal presentation of the two articles of impeachment against Trump: charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the president pro tempore, presided over the Senate, as the House managers were welcomed and Schiff began reading the resolution.

Later Thursday, Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts – who will preside over the trial — is coming to the Senate to be sworn-in. He will subsequently swear-in the senators.

The managers who walked the articles over to the Senate are House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.; Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo.; Val Demings, D-Fla.; Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas; and Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.

The House voted Wednesday to transmit the articles of impeachment against Trump to the Senate after weeks of delay. It came nearly a month after lawmakers voted to impeach the president.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., signed the articles on Wednesday and House officials walked a note over to the Senate to notifying them of the development.

At the heart of the case is Trump’s effort to convince Ukraine to launch investigations of Democrats, while his administration withheld military aid. Trump denies wrongdoing, while Democrats allege he abused the power of his office.

While the Senate is dealing with procedural matters over the next several days, the trial is not expected to move into full swing until next week.

Fox News’ Chad Pergram contributed to this report.
