Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that convicting President Donald Trump in a Senate impeachment trial would “almost guarantee the impeachment of every future president.”

McConnell noted that some Democrats have been trying to impeach Trump since he was inaugurated, including House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who campaigned for the chair by touting his expertise regarding impeachment.
