Your question is mixing apples an Oranges. Did you mean similarities between indictment and trial proceedings? If not, there is a trial proceeding I believe to impeach a president.

The full Senate serves as the jury in any impeachment trial. Most impeachment proceedings have been conducted against federal court judges (below the Supreme Court), so the Senate streamlined the trial process to allow the majority of Senators to conduct the chamber's regular business while an "Impeachment Trial Committee" listens to testimony and acts as a panel of judges. At the end of the trial, the committee compiles a report which the full Senate reads before voting for conviction or acquittal.
The Senate holds the (impeachment) removal trial after the House of Representatives has impeached the president. The Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) only presides over the Senate impeachment trial of a US President; otherwise, the Presiding Officer of the Senate chooses a group of Senators to form an "Impeachment Trial Committee" to act as presiding judges. Certain members of the House of Representatives chosen by it act as prosecutors.
Except in impeachment cases, a trial by jury is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. It is not guaranteed in impeachment cases because life or liberty is not at stake.

The House of Representatives initiates bills for raising revenue and all impeachment proceedings. The Senate is not permitted to do either. In the matter of revenue bills, it may make changes in bills raised and passed in the House and send them back to the House for re-consideration, but these changes are more like suggestions. The Senate may not initiate impeachment proceedings, but it serves as the jury for the trial of the person who has been impeached.
