WASHINGTON - U.S. Democrats on Thursday pressed the Republican-controlled Senate to call Donald Trump’s top lieutenants to testify in its trial of the impeached president, as they sought to focus attention on the trial ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
His political future now rests with 77-year-old McConnell, a self-proclaimed “Grim Reaper” who is widely known as a shrewd negotiator who plays hardball politics at a level unusual even by Washington standards. In a historic vote on Wednesday evening, House Democrats impeached Trump for alleged abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to his attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic political foe Joe Biden. He is only the third U.S. president to be impeached.

America's founding fathers were slave owning racists and morally bankrupt.
PamKeithFL Recuse yourself Mitch.
Pelosi has been around a long time and I don't think she is stupid. I'm sure if it were up to her, she would not impeach potus but she had no choice to cave in to the radical socialist commie mob that rules the Democrat party. Dems will regret this in Nov 2020. She knows!!
If the President and the Senate leader are in agreement, wouldn't that make SpeakerPelosi the 'rogue leader?'
Shameless gaslighting- pure projection.

For awhile we had rogue prez, rogue sen ldr, rogue house ldr. The framers vision providing 2yr terms for House saved us of that criminal trifecta for too long. Next year we’ll clean Senate & put an honest person in WH.
I read this far too quickly and smoothly for it to be an actual quote from Nanshy.
They didn’t suspect we could have a rogue House of Representatives, either.
IRONY
The founders that most liberals hate as much as Trump?
Thank you President Trump, and keep up the fantastic work! Four more years!
It’s terrible what she says about Trump I think she’s mentally unstable
Not to mention a rogue Democrat party and a rogue speaker of the house.
FakeNews. It’s sad when you have to pervert the constitution for your own malfeasance.
MORE B.S.! The rogue F.B.I., and Congress are the REAL CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER!
Democrat doing wrong things that undermine the foundation of democracy, they are rogue people that use public resources for their own emotional need.
Evidently anyone who crosses her is a rogue.

Maybe Nancy Pelosi is the rogue one.
