Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on March 31 said the attempt to impeach President Donald Trump earlier this year distracted the White House from focusing on the threat posed by the CCP virus.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, “came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell told “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”
