“Clearly what Pelosi’s done is just a circus, it’s a sham,” Sen. Rick Scott says about the impeachment proceedings. “She just hates Trump.”
McConnell, however, shut down that idea last week, telling reporters that he had enough votes to start the trial without a commitment to hear from additional witnesses.
"It's frustrating to me," Scott, a key ally of Trump, added. "The Democrats didn't prove anything but that he is innocent." Trump was charged last month with abuse of power for asking Ukraine to investigate former Vice Presidentwhile withholding aid as leverage, and with obstruction of Congress for stonewalling the House investigation.
The president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and is backed by Senate Republicans, who are unlikely to vote to remove the GOP president.
