Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has won a political game of chess against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding the next step of the impeachment against President Trump, according to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota.
House Democrats passed two articles of impeachment against the president late last year for abuse of power and another on obstruction of Congress following the scandal surrounding his July 25 phone call with the president of Ukraine, during which he asked the foreign leader to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Pelosi has since withheld the articles from the Senate, citing her lack of confidence a Senate trial would be fair.
