Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial is set to begin this Tuesday. The trial will begin just over a month after the violent siege that occurred on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump is the first president to be twice impeached, and the only one to face trial after leaving the White House. The trial is expected to be less complicated and have a greater sense of urgency than his last impeachment trial.

Police say another vehicle has been stolen in the Twin Cities with a child inside.

On Sunday evening, a vehicle with a 6-year-old girl inside was reported stolen from a Walgreens store in St. Paul.

The vehicle was left idling while the woman who owns the car went into the store. After the woman called police, officers found the car abandoned a couple blocks away and the girl was unharmed.

A similar incident occurred just a day earlier. A car was stolen in Minneapolis with a 1-year-old boy inside the vehicle. The SUV was spotted idling a few hours later with the child inside. The boy was unharmed.

St. Thomas offered its fourth free testing event on Thursday to track and limit the spread of COVID-19. The test used a polymerase chain reaction test, which is the most accurate of all tests.

The testing event followed the Minnesota Department of Health’s recommendation to test students for the virus after their return to campus.

Additional testing is also available at the University’s Center for Well-Being.
