CNN: McConnell and White House counsel agree to coordinate impeachment trial plans
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump’s top lawyer sketched out a plan Thursday to coordinate closely for an impeachment trial but haven’t reached agreement on a final strategy to defend Trump against charges of high crimes and misdemeanors, according to two sources familiar with the conversation.
The Senate Majority is basically going to let Donald Trump run his own trial.
McConnell: "Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House Counsel. There will be no difference between the president’s position and our position as to how to handle this to the extent that we can."
So much for "neutral jurors" in the Senate. What a joke. pic.twitter.com/Kr4hiMIeDk
