Speaking to Fox News host Sean Hannity, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley said it is 'time for the Senate to fight back' against the House delay on sending up articles of impeachment for a trial.
"This is so important because the House speaker is trying to run the United States Senate. She's trying to hijack the trial. She's trying to obstruct the trial," Hawley told Sean Hannity on his Fox News show Monday night.
Specifically, Trump is accused of soliciting Ukraine's interference in the next presidential election to benefit his re-election campaign and then obstructing Congress by refusing to cooperate with its investigation into the allegations. The president denies any wrongdoing. One of those potential witnesses, Trump's former top national security adviser Ambassador John Bolton, said in a statement on Monday. Democrats hope Bolton's testimony holds powerful evidence of Trump's wrongdoing.
"My Democratic colleagues should not plow away American unity in some bizarre intramural competition to see who dislikes the president more," McConnell"They should not disdain our constitution by rushing through a purely partisan impeachment process and then toying around with it. Governing is serious business. The American people deserve better. A lot better than this."
"I think what that shows is the only urgency on the part of the Democrats and Pelosi was an urgency to pursue their personal vendetta against the president of the United States," Hawley said.
