Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to hold a vote to dismiss the article of impeachment against President Trump passed by the House last week.

Graham wrote in a letter to Schumer on Sunday that the New York Democrat is seeking "vengenance and political retaliation" in his first act as majority leader instead of beginning "national healing."

"While the Vice President and Senate Republicans rejected unconstitutional actions, you seek to force upon the Senate, what would itself be but one more unconstitutional action in this disgraceful saga—the impeachment trial of a former president,” Graham added.


House Democrats introduced and the passed one article of impeachment against Trump for "inciting insurrection"  after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol earlier this month.
