Democratic senators are growing impatient over the delayed start of President Trump’s impeachment trial and some say it’s time for Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Democratic lawmakers in the upper chamber say Pelosi has achieved her goal of putting a spotlight on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) opposition to witness testimony and they’re ready to start hearing House impeachment managers and Trump’s defense team make their arguments.
“Time plays an unknown role in all of this, and the longer it goes on, the less the urgency becomes. So if it’s serious and urgent, it should come over. If it isn’t, don’t send it over,†said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top-ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
