“This is a kangaroo court and it will not stand,” Graham said this week. “I’ve got a resolution saying if you’re going to impeach the president give him the same rights that Richard Nixon had and that Bill Clinton had...what’s going on now is disgusting.”Senate Republicans, have lambasted House Democrats for holding depositions behind closed doors and for declining to hold a vote that would formalize an impeachment inquiry.
McConnell said Thursday that no time has been set yet for a vote but that he "obviously" supports the measure. The resolution comes after Trump urged Republicans to “get tough and fight” for him on impeachment – a request Republicans appear to be taking to heart.

The members refused to leave, which prompted intervention from the House sergeant-at-arms.
