WASHINGTON — Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal stated Thursday that he believes some Senate Republicans are concerned with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s approach to working with the White House on how to handle the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump in the Senate.
“I’ve talked to anywhere from five to 10 of my colleagues who have very severe misgivings about the direction that Mitch McConnell is going in denying a full, fair proceeding with witnesses and documents. My hope is that they will say publicly what Senator Murkowski did, and really hold Mitch McConnell accountable,” the senator said during “Capitol News Briefing” on the Connecticut Network.
“I believe Sen. Murkowski is saying what a lot of my Republican colleagues are thinking, in fact, saying privately.”
He continued that McConnell is “sabotaging this proceeding by saying he won’t be impartial.” (SOURCE: USA Today)
I wonder if he pushed them up against the wall like Feinstein did
