Democrats ask McConnell to recuse himself from possible Senate impeachment trial
WASHINGTON – Democratic lawmakers slammed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's intention to be in "total coordination" with the White House on impeachment strategy as Congress prepares for a historic vote to impeach President Donald Trump next week.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the top Senate Democrat, pointed to provisions in the Constitution governing impeachment: that senators are to act as impartial jurors during a Senate trial on whether to remove Trump from office.
“If articles of impeachment are sent to the Senate, every single senator will take an oath to render ‘impartial justice,’" Schumer said. "Making sure the Senate conducts a fair and honest trial that allows all the facts to come out is paramount."

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., told reporters McConnell’s words show the Senate trial will be a “sham,” a word frequently used by the president and Republicans to describe the impeachment proceedings in the House.
