[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] On the 15th (local time), Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, announced the list of seven impeachment managers who will handle the impeachment of President Donald Trump in the Senate. President Trump immediately denied it as a "fraud" through a tweet.

According to major U.S. media on the day, as expected, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff was included among the impeachment managers announced by Speaker Pelosi. Others include Gerald Nadler, Joe Raskin, Hakeem Jeffries, Val Demings, Sylvia Garcia, and Jason Crow. They will serve as prosecutors in the Senate impeachment trial.

After Speaker Pelosi announced the impeachment managers, President Trump, ahead of attending the signing ceremony for the U.S.-China Phase One trade deal, criticized on his Twitter, "Here we go again. The Democrats, who do nothing, have launched another fraud," and argued, "Everything should be done in the House, not the Senate." This is interpreted as a remark pointing out the impossibility of passing the impeachment in the Republican-majority Senate.
