Tuesday, 09 February 2021 (YJC)_ Senate Majority Leader said Trump’s impeachment trial won't be delayed.
Senate Democrats said Tuesday the impeachment trial for former President Donald Trump won’t derail their work approving nominees for President Biden’s Cabinet and passing COVID-19 relief.
Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer said holding the impeachment trial won’t throw any wrench into the Biden administration’s agenda.
The comments pushed back on Republicans’ criticism of using the Senate’s time to hold an impeachment trial for a president who has already left office.
“To the pundits that said we can’t do both at once, we say you are wrong. We can and we are,” the New York Democrat said.
He noted the chamber confirmed two of Mr. Biden’s Cabinet picks this week and that committees will continue to hold hearings for nominees during morning business before the impeachment trial begins each afternoon.
