Schumer says Democrats will not 'dither, dilute, or delay' on COVID relief amid impeachment trial

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer kicked off the day of the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump by brushing off calls to move on from the Jan. 6 Capitol invasion and promising that he can balance the Senate trial with confirming President Biden’s nominees and working on another coronavirus relief package.

“Those who say, ‘Let’s move on, that brings unity,’ are false,” Schumer said in a press conference Tuesday morning. “When you have such a serious charge, sweeping it under the rug will not bring unity. It will keep the sore open, the wounds open. You need truth and accountability.”
