The US Senate leadership has stated that US president won't be
removed from office, as a result of 'the weak case' presented by the
Democrat controlled US House Of Representatives.
The House Judiciary committee led by Democrat Jerry Nadler voted
along party lines on Friday to submit two articles of impeachment
against Trump and the US leader could be impeached as early as Wednesday
next week.
Trump's impeachment by the US House is as a result of a July phone
call he made with Ukraine's president Zelensky asking for investigation
of his political rival Joe Biden in return for military aid.
The House could impeach Trump next week but the Senate led by
Republican Mitch McConnell says the Democrats have no case and he will
be working with the White House lawyers and the president to ensure a
quick and smooth trial in the senate.
"The case is so darn weak coming over from the House. We all know how
it's going to end," Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said on Fox
News program "Hannity." on Saturday.
"There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office."
McConnell also said he hoped that none of the members of his caucus
would vote to remove the president from office, adding "it wouldn't
surprise me if we got one or two Democrats" to vote to acquit Trump .
He explained that the articles of impeachment would be different from
ordinary legislation that makes its way from the House, in that: "We
have no choice but to take it up. But we'll be working through this
process hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total
coordination with the White House counsel's office and the people who
are representing the president, in the way all of the Senate."
Mitch declined to reveal what a Senate trial might look like or
whether Republicans would call witnesses such as former Vice President
Joe Biden, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.,
or the intelligence community whistleblower, whose complaint about
Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky
sparked the impeachment inquiry.
"I'm going to take my cues from the president's lawyers," said McConnell.
"My hope is that it will be a shorter process rather than a long, lengthy process."
