GOP and Democratic Senators have decried proposed restrictions that seek to limit press access to the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.

Senators from both parties have criticized the Senate as it prepares to put in place strict limitations on reporters covering the impeachment proceedings, which would restrict the media from questioning lawmakers, limit reporters’ movements, and ban laptops and cellphones inside the Senate chamber.
