McConnell Declares ‘No Haggling’ Over Impeachment Rules

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has no leverage in determining the rules of the Senate trial of President Trump, as the Democratic leader in the House continues to hold on to the two articles of impeachment, CNN reports.

Said McConnell: “There will be no haggling with the House over Senate procedure. We will not cede our authority to try this impeachment. The House Democrats’ turn is over. The Senate has made its decision.”
