In a Thursday night appearance on Fox News, McConnell said he would coordinate with White House counsel throughout the Senate trial phase of impeachment."There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can," he said.
"There's no chance the president is going to be removed from office," because"the case is so darn weak," McConnell also said.

"Moscow Mitch has just announced he will conduct the Senate trial in coordination with the WH. So much for Fairness & Impartiality. So much for Checks & Balances. So much for our 243 year Democratic Experiment," filmmaker Rob Reiner wrote. Another user tweeted that McConnell's position during the impeachment is that of a juror, not a legislator."If a juror told the press he was colluding with the defense he would be dismissed.
