What to expect from the impeachment trial

The U.S. Senate will meet Tuesday to start the impeachment trial of President Trump. Senators will set the ground rules for the trial on two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump is thousands of miles away at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he praised U.S. economic success. CBS News senior political analyst John Dickerson joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what to expect from the trial.

Trump blasts impeachment trial at Davos forum

President Trump gave a speech touting his economic record after arriving at Davos and blasting the Senate impeachment trial. Mr. Trump campaigned against the global elite in 2016 and seized this opportunity to highlight the current economy and his recent trade deals with Mexico, Canada and China. Paula Reid reports on whether he can stay focused on that positive economic message and not on his frustration with the impeachment process back at home.

Mr. Trump denies even knowing Parnas, all while his impeachment trial begins with Chief Justice John Roberts and nearly all 100 senators being sworn in on Thursday. Nancy Cordes reports before the trial is set to begin next week.
