100 senators sworn in for Donald Trump's impeachment trial

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts was sworn in to oversee US President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. Roberts then proceeded to swear in all 100 senators - 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats and two independents (who caucus with the Democrats) - as jurors for the proceedings.

The US Senate opened the impeachment trial of Donald Trump with quiet ceremony on Thursday, senators standing at their desks to swear an oath of "impartial justice" as jurors on the president's fate.
