Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that the chamber would likely have a trial if articles of impeachment are passed in the House.

“I don’t think there’s any question that we have to take up the matter. The rules of impeachment are very clear, we'll have to have a trial. My own view is that we should give people the opportunity to put the case on,” McConnell told reporters on Wednesday as the House held public hearings on its impeachment inquiry.
