Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he will follow direction from President Trump’s lawyers during an impeachment trial.
“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” McConnell told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday. “We’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office.”
“I’m going to take my cues from the president’s lawyers,” the Kentucky Republican added.
McConnell met with White House lawyer Pat Cipollone on Thursday to discuss the Senate trial, which is expected to begin in January.
McConnell has repeatedly expressed confidence that Trump will not be removed from office.
The House Judiciary Committee is expected to pass two articles to impeach Trump for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on Friday morning. The articles then go to the House floor for a vote that Speaker Nancy Pelosi said would take place next week.
