Washington • Sen. Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, insisted Wednesday that Speaker Nancy Pelosi accept his terms for President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and promptly deliver the charges from the House, as a growing number of Senate Democrats signaled that they, too, were eager to begin the proceeding.
A day after he announced that he had the votes to conduct a trial without agreeing to Democrats’ demands for witnesses, McConnell said that the House had no choice now but to end “shameless game-playing” and transmit the two articles of impeachment against Trump that it approved last month.
