Mitch McConnell, Republican Majority Leader in the Senate: Trump deserves to be impeached
US Senate Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that outgoing President Donald Trump has committed violations for which he deserves impeachment.
The New York Times reported, citing its sources, that Senator McConnell had told his aides that Trump had committed crimes that deserved his impeachment.
According to the sources, the Republican leader in the Senate confirmed that he is satisfied with the Democrats' move to isolate Trump, and that it is a step that will facilitate his expulsion from the Republican Party.
Earlier, Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that Trump should not continue the presidency an extra day.
It is scheduled that the US House of Representatives meet, on Wednesday, to start the procedures for trying Trump and voting to impeach him, after he was accused of inciting the rebellion, against the backdrop of his supporters storming the Congress building last week.
