Democrats would have you believe it a hugely important one too. It was indisputably a rare moment. For only the third time in US history, a president will now face a Senate trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Democrats sounded incredulous at claims they&#8217;d delayed handing over the <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/trump-impeachment-us-president-faces-senate-trial-after-landmark-house-vote-11909513\">impeachment articles<\/a> for their own political gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Instead, Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, insisted the extra time had given them valuable space to uncover new, incriminating evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Among the documents they released over night, were texts alleging the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, was placed under surveillance as part of Donald Trump&#8217;s pressure campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">One letter, allegedly from Rudy Giuliani also requested a meeting with Ukraine&#8217;s president &#8220;as personal counsel to President Trump and with his knowledge and consent&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Their 11th hour revelations though, only served to add more fuel to the Republican argument that they&#8217;re clutching at straws, trying to find someone or something to make the case they&#8217;ve failed to convince anyone but themselves on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The fact is, the ball is now in Republicans court and they don&#8217;t want a protracted game, peppered with some stretched out penalty time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">They&#8217;ve made clear they don&#8217;t think they need to hear from new witnesses &#8211; something Democrats are desperate for.
