Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the top Republican in the Senate, will vote to acquit former President Donald Trump of the incitement to insurrection charge in his impeachment trial, a GOP colleague told reporters.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) confirmed the report in remarks to reporters on Capitol Hill on Saturday, putting to rest weeks of speculation about what McConnell would do.
