Senate Looks to Quickly Reject Mayorkas Impeachment

“Senate leaders plan to move quickly this month to reject the articles of impeachment against Alejandro Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, setting up a speedy trial in hopes of preventing House Republicans from turning the chamber into a political spectacle,” the New York Times reports.

“Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, has not yet determined exactly how to go about truncating the proceedings… But he is aiming for quick action, beginning on Feb. 28, the day the House is expected to deliver the charges, that could be over in just a couple of days.”
