US President Donald Trump has demanded an immediate impeachment trial in the 
Senate, amid an impasse among Democrats and Republicans over when it may start.

On Wednesday, the House impeached Mr Trump on charges of abuse of power and 
obstruction of Congress.

But Democrats have refused to start the proceedings, arguing the 
Republican-controlled Senate is refusing witnesses and will not hold a fair 
trial.

The Senate's numbers mean Mr Trump is almost certain to be acquitted.

The impeachment process has been highly toxic and divided almost totally along 
party lines.

How will Senate trial work?
The two charges agreed on Wednesday follow accusations that Mr Trump pressured 
Ukraine to dig up damaging information on Democratic rival Joe Biden and his 
son Hunter, and then refused to co-operate with a congressional inquiry into 
the matter.

What has Mr Trump said?
In a series of tweets, the president accused the Democrats of not wanting to go 
to trial because their "case is so bad".

He tweeted: "So after the Democrats gave me no Due Process in the House, no 
lawyers, no witnesses, no nothing, they now want to tell the Senate how to run 
their trial. Actually, they have zero proof of anything, they will never even 
show up. They want out. I want an immediate trial!"
