McConnell indicates Senate trial should take place after Trump leaves office
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has indicated that the Senate impeachment trial should take place after Trump leaves office.
The Senate impeachment process will begin "at our first regular meeting following receipt of the article from the House," McConnell wrote in a new statement, saying he believes it would be best for the country to have an orderly transfer of power completed before a trial begins.
