Rep. Steve Scalise on impeachment: “Everybody knows it’s going to end in acquittal'
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise believes the “impeachment charade” is exposing Democrats’ weakness.
On “Fox News Sunday,“ the Louisiana Republican was direct: “The Senate will have a fair trial, and you'll see an acquittal. Everybody knows it's going to end in acquittal.”House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, he said, has a duty to turn over the articles of impeachment to the Senate when Congress returns. She has so far declined to do so until the Senate sets its rules for the impeachment trial.“She could run for the Senate if she wants to be a senator,“ Scalise said.
The Senate will tackle impeachment next year, with the GOP hoping to accelerate the process so as not to interfere with the election. But some Republicans — like Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski — have been critical of the coordination between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the White House in the lead up.
