Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced a measure on Monday meant to dismiss the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

House Democrats voted to impeach Trump on Dec. 18, 2019, for abuse of office and obstruction of Congress. Still, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has withheld the articles from the Senate, preventing a Senate trial from starting.
