GOP Sen. Ron Johnson says charges against Pres. Trump are 'pretty thin gruel' and Speaker Pelosi's decision to withhold the articles of impeachment is 'bizarre.' 'They had to rush to this impeachment vote and then all of a sudden she's sitting on it.'
"Our Founders, when they wrote the Constitution, they suspected that there could be a rogue president. I don't think they suspected that we can have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time," she said in defense of the decision during her weekly press conference on Thursday.
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell said,"Some House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage so they can dictate the Senate process to senators." However, he said,"I will support the president in the type of trial he wants and the types of witnesses he wants to bring.""If he really believes it's thin, it's thin because the president of the United States ordered his top people who were in the room, who have first hand knowledge not to testify," Jones responded on Sunday."He ordered that documents not be turned over.
