The impeachment managers, led by the House Clerk and the Acting House Sergeant at Arms, held a procession to present an article of impeachment against former President Trump to the secretary of the Senate.

The procession ceremony passed through National Statuary Hall and the Capitol Rotunda before lead impeachment manager Congressman Jamie Raskin read the article on the Senate floor.

The House impeached Mr. Trump on January 13 on a charge of inciting an insurrection. One week earlier, Mr. Trump told his supporters at a rally to "fight like hell" as members of Congress prepared to count the Electoral College votes. A mob of his angry backers then stormed the U.S. Capitol, sending lawmakers into hiding and delaying the electoral count for nearly six hours. The rioters shattered windows and broke down doors to gain access to the halls of Congress, and five people died in the melee.
