Schumer Rips McConnell: We Want A Fair Senate Trial

CNN reports:

In an interview with CNN’s John Berman on “New Day,” Schumer blasted McConnell for coordinating with the White House ahead of the trial.

“For him to talk to the President is one thing. For him to say, ‘I’m going to do just what the President wants,’ is totally out of line,” said Schumer, a New York Democrat.

“As I said, discussion in this kind of situation is not out of the question at all,” Schumer said Monday. “Saying you’re going to do just what the President wants is totally out of line and Mitch McConnell has received a lot of justified criticism for that.”

We want a trial to be fair, and for the American people to think it is fair.

It cannot be a cover-up. It cannot be something where there are witnesses who have direct knowledge of what happened and do not testify. pic.twitter.com/7DRKrSErg6
