The House will send the article of impeachment against former President Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday, officially beginning the trial process. The House swiftly impeached Trump on Jan. 13 for inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol the week before. When it comes to trial, senators will vote to decide whether to convict or acquit Trump. The trial is unprecedented in nearly every way possible. No president had been impeached twice and no president has been tried by the Senate after he left office — an issue dividing constitutional scholars over what is legally permissible.
Biden expected to reinstate COVID-19 travel restrictions
President Joe Biden on Monday is expected to reinstate travel restrictions to combat COVID-19 infections, a White House official who was not authorized to speak ahead of the official announcement confirmed to USA TODAY. The restrictions, which were in place for most of 2020, apply to non-U.S. citizens who have been in Brazil, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and much of Europe. Then-President Donald Trump rescinded the restrictions days before the end of his term. Last week, Biden issued an executive order directing federal agencies to require international air travelers to quarantine upon U.S. arrival. The order also requires that all U.S.-bound passengers ages 2 and above get negative COVID-19 test results within three days of traveling.
