Where are we on impeachment today?
After almost 12 hours of debate, the House took the historic step of impeaching President Trump. Now, the spotlight turns to the Senate, where Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer have been posturing over the structure of the upcoming trial. McConnell wants a quick acquittal. Schumer wants to hear from the Administration witnesses who stonewalled the House's inquiry. But after last night's vote, Nancy Pelosi made a last-minute play, demanding a "fair trial," and declining to say when she would transmit the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, casting the timeline into uncertainty.
