Elizabeth Holtzman, a congresswoman during the Watergate trial, said during an MSNBC interview that Speaker of the House Pelosi is 'strong-minded' and 'savvy'; and adds that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell shouldn't 'mess with' Speaker Pelosi.
As impeachment articles approved by the House await release to the Senate for their trial of President Donald J. Trump, Speaker Pelosi continues to shrug off criticism from Republican senators who have criticized the House's impeachment trial of President Trump.
"Here we have the leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell saying 'I'm not an impartial juror.' You have to take [an] oath in the Senate impeachment trial saying you are going to do impartial to make sure the Senate trial is fair, nonpartisan and tries do impartial justice," she continued. Senate Majority Leader McConnell is among senate Republicans who have repeatedly told the media that they intend to vote against President Trump's impeachment when the senate trial commences. McConnell has also said he plans on working closely with the White House during the trial.
