Jan. 31, 2020 Tweet - "A majority of the U.S. Senate has determined that the numerous witnesses and 28,000-plus pages of documents already in evidence are sufficient to judge the House Managers' accusations and end this impeachment trial. My full statement:" Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 28, 2020 CNN "The Situation Room" - Transcript: Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) Is Interviewed About Issue Of Witness, Specifically John Bolton, John Kelly Sen. Rand Paul
Jan. 21, 2020 Tweet - "In 1999, the Senate unanimously agreed on a basic trial structure that was fair to all parties. Today, we must rise to the occasion and preserve that bipartisan precedent. Our resolution sets up the same basic steps. Fair is fair." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020 Tweet - "It will be telling if the House managers try to get the Senate to pre-commit ourselves to supplementing the investigation they themselves oversaw and decided to shut down. Just last week, they said their case as it already exists is "overwhelming" and "beyond a reasonable doubt."" Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020 Tweet - "The way the Senate decides to handle mid-trial questions such as witnesses could have institutional consequences that go far beyond this trial and this presidency. We are not going to rush into these questions without even hearing opening arguments." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 21, 2020 Tweet - "There were good reasons why all 100 senators agreed two decades ago that the Senate should not cross these bridges before we came to them. We will not let the architects of the unfair House process convince the Senate to rewrite our rules just for President Trump." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Tweet - "Yesterday, the Speaker celebrated impeachment with souvenir pens, bearing her own golden signature, brought in on silver platters. The House's partisan process distilled into one last perfect visual. Not solemn or serious. A transparently political exercise from beginning to end." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Tweet - ""This body, this chamber, exists precisely so that we can look past daily dramas and understand how our actions will reverberate for generations. The House's hour is over. The Senate's time is at hand. It is time for this proud body to honor our founding purpose.'" Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Impeachment Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Trial of Donald John Trump, President of the United States Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Program Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 16, 2020 Program Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020 Tweet - "Democrats' impeachment has been nakedly partisan from the beginning. Pelosi admits it was in the making years before events with Ukraine. Schumer says that whatever happens, if it helps him politically, it's a "win-win." They are playing political games with the Constitution." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020 Program Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020 Tweet - "It looks like today's the day. House Democrats may finally stand behind the rushed, unfair, and nakedly partisan impeachment that they themselves delayed for four weeks. The "prosecutors' have finally overcome their cold feet." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020 Tweet - "Even today, the Speaker and her allies keep contradicting themselves. They say their case is already "overwhelming," "beyond any reasonable doubt." But they also keep asking the Senate to re-do their homework and add to the investigation that House Democrats rushed to close." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 15, 2020 Impeachment Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020 Tweet - "We've reached a simple contradiction. The House case cannot be so robust that it was enough to rush into impeachment, and enough for Senate Democrats to start pre-judging guilt, but also so weak that they need the Senate to go fishing. These two stories cannot both be true." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020 Tweet - "First, Democrats spent weeks saying the House case was totally convincing. Now, the opposite: They say the House case is so thin that if the Senate judges what the House actually voted on, it's a "cover-up." Their own investigation was so shallow that it now equals a "cover-up"?" Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020 Tweet - "It's clear Democrats see impeachment as one big political game. Sen. Schumer told reporters that as long as the process hurts Republicans, "it's a win-win." The country deserves better. We're overdue for some seriousness and sober judgment. That is what the Senate will bring." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020 Impeachment Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 14, 2020 Tweet - "In December, House Democrats pulled the plug on their investigation and impeached because they said it was urgent & they had already proven their case. But now they've delayed for weeks to insist that the Senate re-open their inquiry. So -- neither urgent nor persuasive?" Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 13, 2020 Tweet - "I'm glad the Speaker may finally be realizing she never had any "leverage" to dictate Senate procedure to Senators. The Senate was never going to pre-commit ourselves to redoing the prosecutors' homework for them." Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 13, 2020 Tweet - "If House Democrats were confident their own investigation was persuasive, they would not be so desperate to get the Senate to reopen it. The House has signaled they're afraid for the Senate to judge the case they will actually send us. The case they voted for." Sen. Mitch McConnell
