McConnell: Trump impeachment trial rules will be passed without Democratic support
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. says Senate Republicans are ready to move forward on an impeachment trial of President Donald Trump without any Democratic support.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has so far refused to formally send the articles of impeachment passed by the House late last year over to the Senate, a crucial next step before the upper chamber can begin proceedings.
