The Senate
This is true, but the question is a little unclear. The House of Representatives brings the Articles of Impeachment against a federal official. However, impeachment only brings up the charges; it doesn't convict the individual. The official still has to be tried before the Senate. The US Senate then tries the case [holds the trial of the official], and the Senate decides whether the federal official will be removed from office. [In the special case where it is the US President who is on trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the impeachment trial, before the US Senate.]
