Donald Trump's second impeachment trial set to begin in US Senate
Feb. 9 - The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will begin in the US Senate on Tuesday, with the former president facing a charge of “incitement of insurrection” after his supporters stormed the US Capitol last month and engaged in clashes that left five people dead.
The prosecution is expected to brandish dramatic footage of the violence at the Capitol on 6 January. The trial is set to strike a sharp contrast of tone with Trump’s first trial in early 2020, at which prosecutors used documents, emails and testimony to tell a complicated story about a Trump pressure campaign in Ukraine. continue to read

Bruce Castor is a magnet for controversy. Naturally, he’s Trump’s impeachment attorney.
Lawyer Bruce L. Castor Jr., the former district attorney of Montgomery County, Pa., has been named one of former president Donald Trump’s impeachment attorneys.
Feb. 9 - "I don't think the case is particularly complicated," said Bruce L. Castor Jr. on Thursday, while driving his Corvette back to his suburban Philadelphia home after being inside the U.S. Capitol for the first time in 15 years.
Castor is defending Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial, scheduled to begin Tuesday, where the former president stands accused of inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The attorney was given little more than a week to prepare — during a pandemic.
For the first eight years of the millennium, Bruce Castor was the local evening news here, at 6, 10 and 11. Tall, telegenic, in bold pinstripes that skewed a tad too Dick Tracy but popped on camera, not to mention cowboy boots (curious, those, in the affluent Pennsylvania suburbs), he was the pol at the mic, the swaggering prosecutor cleaning up crimes that the public never tired of following: Mayhem on the Main Line. In one year alone, he racked up five first-degree murder convictions. continue to read

China “expels” US warship from South China Sea, a first under Biden presidency
Feb. 8 - China on Friday said it has expelled a US guided missile destroyer from the South China Sea, a day after the same warship passed through the Taiwan Strait.
The People’s Liberation Army’s southern theatre command issued a statement saying it deployed warships and aircraft to warn and drive away USS John S McCain from near the Xisha Island (Paracel Island in English) in the SCS region.
The US Navy has said it was carrying out a lawful, “freedom of navigation operation”.
Friday’s exchange is part of the war of words that has broken out between Beijing and Washington on the passage of the US warship through the region in the past 24 hours — for the first time since Joe Biden took over as President in January. continue to read
