Senate leaders punt impeachment trial deal until after holidays
The Senate is set to leave town for the year without a deal on key components of a President Trump's impeachment trial, including whether to have witnesses.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) met on Thursday just hours before the chamber is expected to wrap up its work for 2019.
But Schumer indicated after the meeting that they did not reach an agreement on witnesses or requests for additional documents - two key sticking points for Democrats.
Justin Goodman, a spokesman for Schumer, said the Democratic leader asked McConnell to "consider Sen. Schumer's proposal over the holidays."
