Associated Press: “For now, Republicans are holding the line behind Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s position that they should start the trial and hear arguments from House prosecutors and Trump’s defense team before deciding what to do.”

“But small cracks in GOP unity have appeared, with two Republican senators criticizing McConnell’s pledge of ‘total coordination’ with the White House during the impeachment trial.”

“Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she was ‘disturbed’ by the GOP leader’s comments, adding that there should be distance between the White House and the Senate on how the trial is conducted. Maine Sen. Susan Collins, meanwhile, called the pledge by McConnell, R-Ky., inappropriate and said she is open to seeking testimony.”
