McConnell: Trump impeachment trial rules will be passed without Democratic support

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. says Senate Republicans are ready to move forward on an impeachment trial of President Donald Trump without any Democratic support.

By relying only on votes from his 53 member caucus, McConnell effectively rejected the demands by House and Senate Democrats that any rules for a trial be negotiated and agreed upon. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has so far refused to formally send the articles of impeachment passed by the House late last year over to the Senate, a crucial next step before the upper chamber can begin proceedings.

Keep sitting on those papers Nancy 👍

TheLastRefuge2 Wait. I was told that Pelosi's plan to just g'head and hang on to those 'Articles of Impeachment' was a brilliant tactical move by a cunning House Speaker who is always two steps ahead of her opponents?

What happened with the “Congress” vote? All Yea = Dems, Against were 197 Reps and 3 Dems 👀👀👀 SenSchumer senatemajldr

The most corrupt ever seen. A bunch of liars. Cannot believe this is America, you can go trail without witnesses

TheLastRefuge2 Just like the House impeachment vote then

TheLastRefuge2 Is this thing still going on? Lol

TheLastRefuge2 the house dems allowed zero fairness in their handling of a long-planned impeachment based on jack diddly, yet expects 'fairness' when they're the minority in senate? truly laughable. did they not think this through? Boomerang $Trump2020 Trump2020

TheLastRefuge2 Exactly like the House rules were passed without Republican support.

TheLastRefuge2 Come at the King, you best not miss.

Good.

Wow! Same as in the House where the Democrats rolled over any and all Republican requests!

Look they do what they want but we all see the truth and our candidates need to put a spotlight on it. Stop acting soft

Yea!

Keep Hold of impeachment in the house if the senate can not be fair. I'm good with that.

Good since that’s how the Dems deep faked the articles of impeachment

The inverse of the house. Sounds fair to me.

McConnell can't stand anyone messing with his Sugar Daddy even if it means violating the Constitution.

Wasn’t senatemajldr JUST criticizing democrats for not uniting as a country ?

GOP if you do you will lose the election. America demands a fair trial.

Hahaha SpeakerPelosi Ur obstruction is being bypassed

Get em Mitch! Demonrats

So no witnesses & no evidence then?

US politics are so embarrassing!

McConnell boldly telling us he's going to fix the trial so there really is no trial and Trump can't possibly lose

Its all a dog and pony show designed for the Zombies... plus great for ratings$$$ FakeImpeachment

they don't want to know the thruth
