Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the Senate would acquit President Trump if an impeachment trial were held today, Politico reports.
Said McConnell: “I will say I’m pretty sure how it’s likely to end. If it were today I don’t think there’s any question — it would not lead to a removal. So the question is how long does the Senate want to take? How long do the presidential candidates want to be here on the floor of the Senate instead of in Iowa and New Hampshire?”
