Mitch McConnell rejects Nancy Pelosi’s influence on impeachment trial as a 'nonstarter.'
The Senate returned Friday, and Mitch McConnell rejected Nancy Pelosi's efforts to influence President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
The Kentucky Republican and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer clashed over the impeachment process — even as rising tensions with Iran pulled attention away from the decision on whether to remove Trump from office. McConnell said "we are content to continue the ordinary business of the Senate" until Pelosi sends House-passed articles of impeachment to the chamber.
Schumer rejected that plan, saying his GOP counterpart has not "given one good reason why there shouldn't be relevant witnesses or relevant documents." McConnell said that "for too long, this evil man operated without constraint, and countless innocents have suffered for it." He said the Trump administration is working to arrange a classified briefing on the operation with all senators next week, and urged lawmakers not to make judgments on what could happen next.
