Eleven Senate Republicans co-sponsor resolution to dismiss impeachment articles against Trump

Nearly a dozen Senate Republicans have put forth a resolution that, if passed, would seek to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump immediately.

“The Constitution gives the Senate sole power to adjudicate articles of impeachment, not the House,” said Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who introduced the resolution, in a statement Monday. “If Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi is afraid to try her case, the articles should be dismissed for failure to prosecute and Congress should get back to doing the people’s business.”
