In US news and current events today, during the impeachment trial of U.S. President Donald Trump, Senator Democratic leader Chuck Schumer blasted GOP Senator Mitch McConnell for proposed rules during the trial that would 'rush' the trial past the American people.
Listen to Schumer's call out of McConnell in this impassioned speech during the impeachment trial.
Pres. Trump’s impeachment trial has finally begun. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing for a speedy trial, giving just two days for oral arguments from House impeachment managers and Trump’s legal team. His proposed rules also wouldn’t allow for votes on calling new witnesses until after the arguments have been made. Democrats have blasted this proposed timeline, claiming that McConnell is trying to bury evidence against Trump. Rep. Adam Schiff, one of the impeachment managers, said McConnell’s timeline would lead to a ‘rigged’ trial.
