Philippine Senate delays hearing VP Duterte's impeachment until after midterm elections.

The Philippine Senate announced it will not hear the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte until June 2, after the midterm elections. This delay is due to the requirement that senators swear an oath while Congress is in session before convening as an impeachment court. The House of Representatives impeached Duterte for allegedly misusing public funds and threatening the lives of key officials, but she denies all charges.
