The House “gave in to a temptation that every other House in our history has managed to resist”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will speak on the Senate floor at 9:30 a.m. ET today.

According to a copy of his prepared remarks, McConnell will address what he’s calling “the most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history.”

Now that the House has impeached President Trump, the Senate is expected to hold a trial to decide if he should be removed from office.

But last night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would not commit to sending the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Republican-held Senate, a surprise move that injects new uncertainty into Congress’ timeline of the President’s trial in the chamber.
