McConnell furious with president, supports move to initiate impeachment proceedings
By Brooke Singman, Mike Emanuel | Fox News
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supports Democrats' move to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump and is "done" and "furious" with him, sources familiar told Fox News.
It is unclear how McConnell would vote in an impeachment trial, should House Democrats vote to impeach Trump. It is not clear at this point whether McConnell would vote to convict.
One source told Fox News that McConnell has not made up his mind about what to do about impeachment, and does not see this as a partisan exercise like the previous impeachment effort against Trump.
Another source told Fox News that McConnell told associates that impeachment will help rid the Republican Party of Trump and his movement.
The New York Times first reported that McConnell was pleased that House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment against Trump.
A source close to McConnell told Fox News that "nobody is pleased by anything."
Meanwhile, other sources told Fox News that there is "no love lost there."

Might as well become a Democrat now.
The GOP is now completely irrelevant.
