The attorneys for former President Donald Trump will make procedural objections a focus during the Senate impeachment trial next week, including by questioning whether Trump can be tried as a private citizen, one of his attorneys said.

House Democrats, joined by 10 Republicans, impeached Trump on a single charge of inciting a mob that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6. In a trial memorandum, Trump attorneys denied the allegations and challenged the constitutionality of trying Trump after he had left office.
