Brad Blakeman also said he did not think Trump would even be officially impeached until Nancy Pelosi sends the impeachment charges to the Senate.
The House passed two articles of impeachment against Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on December 18. Voting ran largely along party lines: Democrats voted to pass the articles; Republicans voted against them. The impeachment process started after a whistleblower alerted Congress to a July phone call in which which Trump asked the president of Ukraine to open an investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Biden's son, Hunter.
The Constitution rules that after the House passes articles of impeachment, the Senate holds a trial in which it decides whether or not to remove the impeached politician from office. A date for Trump's trial before the Senate has not yet been set pending transfer of the articles of impeachment from the House to the Senate.
