Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday blocked a quick Senate impeachment trial for President Donald Trump but did not rule out that he might eventually vote to convict the now twice-impeached president.
After the U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a “statement today regarding the Senate schedule,” declaring that there isn’t enough time to try Trump before Joe Biden is inaugurated.
The unprecedented vote, just over a year after his first impeachment made Donald Trump the first president in U.S. history to be impeached by Congress twice.
