Pelosi told her Democratic colleagues Tuesday morning at a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill that she won't announce impeachment managers during that meeting, according to a source familiar with the remarks. Last week, Pelosi told Democrats she planned to discuss plans for sending over the articles of impeachment, which she's held following a vote last month.
McConnell would not provide Pelosi with the planned rules for the trial as she had requested before she sent over the articles, saying that the House would not dictate how the Senate is run. On Monday, McConnell said Pelosi's"strange gambit has achieved absolutely nothing." Once the articles are formally sent to the Senate, the chamber is expected to kick off the opening of the trial with the swearing in of all 100 senators. The substance of the trial, however, is not expected to begin until next week.
"I think I am safe in saying there is almost no interest in a motion to dismiss," said Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, who is not up for reelection in 2020.
