From Associated Press:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday blocked a quick Senate impeachment trial for President Donald Trump but did not rule out that he might eventually vote to convict the now twice-impeached president .
A spokesman for McConnell, R-Ky., said McConnell had informed Democrats that he would block their effort to quickly call the chamber back into emergency session to put Trump on trial. The House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump, and McConnell’s move means the Senate trial was all but certain to be delayed until after Joe Biden’s inauguration as president on Jan. 20. Yet in a letter to his GOP colleagues, McConnell acknowledged he had not made up his mind about whether Trump should be convicted of the House’s charge that he incited insurrection by exhorting supporters who violently attacked the Capitol last week, resulting in five deaths, and a disruption of Congress.
