Just Security has compiled and curated all publicly available documents related to Congress’s impeachment and trial of President Donald J. Trump. This collection seeks to include significant original source material, including relevant legislation, trial materials, letters, subpoenas, deposition and witness transcripts, executive branch communications, and litigation documents.

Please note that this page was recently reorganized to make the resource more user-friendly.
