QuoteCNSNews.com) - As the House Judiciary Committee moves closer to voting on two articles of impeachment against President Trump, Senate Republicans are mulling "two choices," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Wednesday.
QuoteSo here's what I would anticipate. The House managers would come over, make their arguments; the president's lawyers would then respond, and at that point, the Senate has two choices.
It could go down the path of calling witnesses and basically having another trial; or it could decide -- and again, 51 members could make that decision -- that they have heard enough and believe they know what would happen and could move to vote on the two articles of impeachment sent over to us by the House.
Those are the options. No decisions have been made yet. They'll be made later.
McConnell said Republicans "will make that decision after we have heard the opening arguments."
