We have “No Chance” to hold the impeachment: Senater Mitch McConnell

I would have no choice but to take it up, The remarks affirmed that will not ignor consideration of the articles of impeachment: Majority Leader of U.S Senate

WASHINGTON: Majority Leader of U.S. Senate Mitch McConnell said that his chamber would have “no choice” but to hold an impeachment trial if articles of impeachment were passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I would have no choice but to take it up, based on a Senate rule on impeachment,” McConnell told U.S. media in an interview.

The remarks affirmed that the Republican controlled Senate will not shun consideration of the articles of impeachment, should any pass the House as a result of the ongoing investigation into whether a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart mounted to impeachable offense.

The U.S. House of Representatives announced last week to launch impeachment investigations, after a whistleblower’s complaint alerted lawmakers about the phone call.

According to a description of the content of the phone call released by the White House, Trump said he would like the Ukrainian government to investigate a corruption allegation against Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.
