Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he is working in 'total coordination' with the White House about potential impeachment trial. “Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with White House counsel.”
"Exactly how we go forward, I'm going to coordinate with the president's lawyers," McConnell added."The case is so darn weak coming over from the House. We all know how it's going to end. There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office. My hope is that there won't be a Republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment."
Former Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota, who served as the Senate's Democratic Leader during former President Bill Clinton's impeachment, said on Thursday that he strictly avoided contact with the White House at the time, citing his role as a juror.
