McConnell: 'Let's quit the charade' on impeachment

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday slammed Democratic senators as well as Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) over her decision to withhold House-passed articles of impeachment against President Trump from the upper chamber until Republicans guarantee a "fair" trial.

During an interview with "Fox & Friends," the GOP leader knocked the idea that Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) or Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would act as impartial judges during the president's Senate trial, claiming that it was an innately political exercise.
