Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) blamed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on ABC News for former President Trump’s acquittal in his second Senate impeachment trial.
Said Coons: “Once Mitch McConnell made it clear he intended to acquit, even despite the compelling evidence, what the House managers needed wasn’t more witnesses or more evidence, what we all needed was more Republican courage.”
He added: “I’m fairly certain there would have been a vote to convict with a secret ballot.”
