Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted his Senate counterpart, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a scathing statement that called out Republican’s just-released resolution proposing strict rules for the Senate trial of President Donald Trump on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress charges.

In a Monday night statement, Schumer called McConnell’s organizing resolution “nothing short of a national disgrace.” Per the Majority Leader’s proposed rules, the Senate would have to first vote to accept the House impeachment evidence and it would give each side 24 hours, over just two days, to present their opening arguments, meaning the impeachment managers and Trump defense team’s speeches could run well past midnight.

After reading his resolution, it’s clear Sen. McConnell is hell-bent on making it much more difficult to get witnesses & documents and intent on rushing the trial through

“Senator McConnell repeatedly promised Senators, the public and the press that his rules for the trial would be the same at the rules fo President Clinton’s trial,” Schumer noted. Instead the ruled “depart dramatically” from that precedent, Schumer pointed out.

“Under this resolution, Senator McConnell is saying he doesn’t want to hear any of the existing evidence ,and he doesn’t’ want to hear any new evidence,” Schumer added. “A trial with no evidence — no existing record, no witnesses, not documents — isn’t a trial at all. It’s a coverup, and the American people will see if for exactly what it is.”
