Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she does not agree with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) comments that he will work in “total coordination” with the White House during the looming impeachment trial.
“When I heard that I was disturbed,” Murkowski told KTUU, an NBC affiliate, in an interview that aired Tuesday.
McConnell has been criticized for his comments by Democrats, given that senators take an oath to be impartial jurors during the trial.
“To me,” Murkowski continued, speaking of the Senate’s constitutional responsibility in the process, “it means we have to take that step back from being hand-in-glove with the defense. And so I heard what Leader McConnell had said, I happen to think that that has further confused the process.”
