McConnell Ready to Bypass Dems, Set Rules for Impeachment Trial

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Tuesday he has the Senate votes necessary to establish rules for President Donald Trump's upcoming impeachment trial, saying the trial could proceed similarly to former President Bill Clinton's in which opening arguments were heard before a vote was held to decide if witnesses would be called. Democrats are adamant that witnesses should be called immediately; the partisan failure to agree on the trial's terms has led to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) delaying sending the impeachment articles to the Senate.
