The Senate Majority Leader told Fox & Friends that the decision to withhold articles of impeachment from the chamber was 'absurd.'
Mitch McConnell has lashed out at Democrats over the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, calling it a"political exercise."Monday whether opposition senators such as 2020 primary frontrunners Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders would be impartial during a trial of the president, should articles of impeachment be passed onto the chamber.
McConnell's comments came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats were waiting to"see the process that is set forth in the Senate" while not committing to sending the approved articles of impeachment to the chamber. He later said the process he was"advocating" to Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer was"exactly the same way we handled the Clinton impeachment 20 years ago, which he voted for."
