Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) responded to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) decision to try to dictate the parameters of an inevitable impeachment trial in the Senate Tuesday night, posting on social media that Republicans “won’t be pushed around” on how the trial will proceed and that the Senate GOP doesn’t “need a lecture from Democrats” on how the Constitution works.
On Monday, Schumer sent a three page letter to GOP Senate leadership demanding to control President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial and demanding the right to call witnesses — including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and former national security advisor John Bolton — and the right to dictate the trial calendar, setting the start of trial as early as January 9th so that Democrat Senators competing for the 2020 nomination can be back on the campaign trail by Super Tuesday.
