‘It’s the Senate’s Turn Now,’ McConnell Says on Impeachment

WASHINGTON (AP) — Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is indicating he has little interest in hearing from witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. McConnell criticized  Democrats Friday as having engineered a “slapdash” impeachment that he called the “most rushed, least fair” in history. McConnell is hoping for a speedy acquittal of the president, but the trial cannot begin until House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sends over the articles of impeachment. Pelosi is refusing to do so until Republicans provide details on the trial. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said senators need to hear the “whole truth” as they weigh Trump’s removal from office.
